But (A)God came to Abimelech (B)in a dream by night, and said to him, (C)“Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is [a]a man’s wife.”

But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, “Lord, (D)will You slay a righteous nation also? Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she, even she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ (E)In the [b]integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.”
