3 But Ps. 105:14God came to Abimelech Job 33:15in a dream by night, and said to him, Gen. 20:7"Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man’s wife."
4 But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, "Lord, Gen. 18:23–25; Num. 16:22will You slay a righteous nation also? 5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she, even she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ 1 Kin. 9:4; 2 Kin. 20:3; Ps. 7:8; 26:6In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this."
6 And God said to him in a dream, "Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. For Gen. 31:7; 35:5; Ex. 34:24; 1 Sam. 25:26, 34I also withheld you from sinning Gen. 39:9; 2 Sam. 12:13against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her. 7 Now therefore, restore the man’s wife; 1 Sam. 7:5; 2 Kin. 5:11; Job 42:8; James 5:14, 15for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her,Gen. 2:17know that you shall surely die, you Num. 16:32, 33and all who are yours."
