Genesis 20:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ Then he turned to Sarah. “Look,” he said, “I am giving your ‘brother’ a thousand silver pieces as damages for what I did, to compensate for any embarrassment and to settle any claim against me regarding this matter. Now justice has been done.”

¹⁷ Then Abraham prayed, asking God to cure the king and queen and the other women of the household, so that they could have children; ¹⁸ for God had stricken all the women with barrenness to punish Abimelech for taking Abraham’s wife.
