Episode: Genesis 20:1-18: De Ja Vu All Over Again
Description: When Abraham sojourns in Gerar, he once again says that his wife Sarah is only his sister. The LORD acts swiftly to prevent Abimelech, the king in Gerar, from committing adultery with Sarah, lest there be any confusion concerning the promised son she will soon carry. Abimelech listens to God’s warning and speaks to Abraham about what has happened. Upon hearing Abraham’s answer, Abimelech gives generously to Abraham, who prays for Abimelech so that the LORD shows mercy. Although Abraham’s faith looks weak in this text, the LORD remains faithful to the promises He has made.Â
