GENESIS 20

ABRAHAM LIES TO KING ABIMELECH 

Abraham is traveling and lies about Sarah being his sister to Abimelech, King of Gerar. Abimelech takes Sarah into his household, but before anything happens, God appears to him in a dream and reveals the truth about Abraham and Sarah. Abimelech confronts Abraham and returns Sarah unharmed.

God tells Abimelech that Abraham is a prophet and instructs him to restore Sarah. Abraham prays for Abimelech, and God heals Abimelech and the women in his household, whose wombs had been closed because of Sarah. After this, they are able to bear children again.
