For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.

And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? / Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.

Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
