Genesis 20:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 Now then, return the man’s wife, for (A)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.”
8 So Abimelech got up early in the morning and called all his servants, and told all these things in their [a]presence; and the people were greatly frightened. 9 (B)Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? And [b]how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom (C)a great sin? You have done to me [c]things that ought not to be done.”

New International Version
7 Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet,(A) and he will pray for you(B) and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who belong to you will die.”(C)
8 Early the next morning Abimelek summoned all his officials, and when he told them all that had happened, they were very much afraid. 9 Then Abimelek called Abraham in and said, “What have you done to us? How have I wronged you that you have brought such great guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should never be done.(D)”
