Joe: Alright, so we got a Bible Expert here to give us a rundown of Genesis 20. Let's hear what he has to say.

Bible Expert: Sure. So, Genesis 20 opens up with Abraham moving from the Negev desert to the region of the Philistines. He tells everyone that Sarah is his sister because he's afraid of them.

Joe: Hold on, hold on, what does he think is gonna happen if they find out she's his wife?

Bible Expert: Well, he was afraid that the Philistines would kill him and take Sarah as a wife for one of their own.

Joe: Damn. That's some cold stuff.

Bible Expert: Sure is. Anyway, King Abimelech of Gerar takes Sarah and he is warned by God in a dream not to touch her as she is another man's wife. Abimelech restores Sarah to Abraham and gives him wealth and sheep as compensation.

Joe: That's pretty generous of him.

Bible Expert: Yeah, it is. Abraham then prays to God and God heals Abimelech, his wife, and his maidservants of their infertility.

Joe: Wow, so God really rewarded Abimelech for his generosity.

Bible Expert: That's right. Finally, God reveals to Abimelech that Abraham is a prophet and commands him to treat him with respect. Abimelech and Abraham then make a treaty and Abraham goes on his way.

Joe: Alright, so it looks like everyone got a happy ending here.

Bible Expert: That's right. That's the gist of Genesis 20.
