14 Then Abimelech took flocks and herds and male and female slaves, gave them to Abraham, and returned his wife Sarah to him. 15 Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you.j Settle wherever you want.”H 16 And he said to Sarah, “Look, I am giving your brother one thousand pieces of silver. It is a verification of your honorI to all who are with you. You are fully vindicated.”

17 Then Abraham prayed to God,k and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female slaves so that they could bear children, 18 for the Lord had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech’s household on account of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
