Genesis 20:7-11

Now then, return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, know that you will certainly die, you and all who are yours.”

So Abimelech got up early in the morning and called all his servants, and told all these things in their presence; and the people were greatly frightened.

Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done.”

And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What have you encountered, that you have done this thing?”

Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
