3. But one night God spoke to Abimelech in a dream and said, “You will die. The woman you took is married.”
4. But Abimelech had not yet slept with Sarah, so he said, “Lord, I am not guilty. Would you kill an innocent man?
5. Abraham himself told me, ‘This woman is my sister,’ and she also said, ‘This man is my brother.’ I am innocent. I did not know what I was doing.”
6. Then God said to Abimelech in a dream, “Yes, I know that you are innocent and that you did not know what you were doing. I saved you. I did not allow you to sin against me. I was the one who did not allow you to sleep with her.
7. So give Abraham his wife again. He is a prophet. He will pray for you, and you will live. But if you don’t give Sarah back to him, I promise that you will die. And all your family will die with you.”
8. So very early the next morning, Abimelech called all his servants and told them about the dream. The servants were very afraid.
