New Century Version

Genesis 21:21-26 New Century Version (NCV)

21. He lived in the Desert of Paran, and his mother found a wife for him in Egypt.

22. Then Abimelech came with Phicol, the commander of his army, and said to Abraham, “God is with you in everything you do.

23. So make a promise to me here before God that you will be fair with me and my children and my descendants. Be kind to me and to this land where you have lived as a stranger—as kind as I have been to you.”

24. And Abraham said, “I promise.”

25. Then Abraham complained to Abimelech about Abimelech’s servants who had seized a well of water.

26. But Abimelech said, “I don’t know who did this. You never told me about this before today.”
