8Therefore Abimelech rose earely in the morning, and called all his seruants, and told all these things in their eares: and the men were sore afraid. 9Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said vnto him, What hast thou done vnto vs? and what haue I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me, and on my kingdome a great sinne? thou hast done deeds vnto mee that ought not to be done. 10And Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? 11And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the feare of God is not in this place: and they will slay mee for my wiues sake. 12And yet indeed shee is my sister: she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and shee became my wife.
