Genesis 20:4KJV
Protestant Bible · KJV · Verse 4 of 18
"But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?"
In context
2And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she a man's wife.
4But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
5Said he not unto me, She my sister? and she, even she herself said, He my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
6And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
