Genesis 20:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Now then deliver the man his wife again: for he is a [a]Prophet, and he [b]shall pray for thee, that thou mayest live: but if thou deliver her not again, be sure that thou shalt die the death, thou, and all that thou hast.
8 Then Abimelech rising up early in the morning, called all his servants, and told all these things [c]unto them, and the men were sore afraid.
9 Afterward Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me, and on my [d]kingdom this great sin? thou hast done things unto me that ought not to be done.
