Genesis 20
Abraham travels and again lets another king, Abimelech, have his sister-wife. God speaks to Abimelech in a dream and says
Omae wa mō shindeiru INDEED YOU ARE A DEAD MAN FOR TAKING THIS PROPHET'S WIFE
Abimelech states he had no idea and asks God if He would really do this to a man who made an innocent mistake. God responds that this is true, and He will let him live if he gives Sarah back to Abraham. He hadn't touched her and God said He had protected her. Abimelech is mad they didn't say the honest truth about their marriage. Abraham responds that they weren't a God-fearing people, and they were being cautious. Sarah is returned along with an offering of silver and cattle. Abraham says a prayer for Abimelech and he and his whole household are healed of their affliction (they had become barren since Sarah was brought there) and Abraham is welcome to setup camp wherever in the kingdom.
