God protects Sarah in the house of Abimelech
Abraham again described Sarah as his sister, and Abimelech king of Gerar took her. God warned the king in a dream, Sarah was restored untouched, and Abraham prayed so that Abimelech's household was healed (Genesis 20:1-18).

📖 Genesis 20:1–3
1Now Abraham journeyed from there to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he was staying in Gerar, 2Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar had Sarah brought to him. 3One night, however, God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”
