GENESIS CHAPTER 20 Abraham sojourns in Gerar, Genesis 20:1; denies Sarah to be his wife: Abimelech sends and takes her, Genesis 20:2. God warns Abimelech in a dream, Genesis 20:3. He expostulates with God, who answers and commands him to restore Sarah, Genesis 20:4-7. Abimelech warns his servants, Genesis 20:8; rebukes Abraham, Genesis 20:9,10; who excuses and defends what he had said, Genesis 20:11-13. Abimelech kind to Abraham; restores his wife, Genesis 20:14,15; rebukes Sarah, Genesis 20:16. Abraham prays for Abimelech; God removes his judgments, Genesis 20:17,18. 1808 From thence; from the plain of Mamre, Genesis 18:1, where he had long dwelt; and whence he removed, either because of its nearness to that filthy lake, which now was in the place of that late fruitful plain; or for other reasons and conveniences needless to be here inquired or determined. Towards the south country, yet more towards the southern part of Canaan.
