1 Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in Gerar .
2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.”
There was a famine in the land, in addition to the first famine that was in the days of Abraham . Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines , to Gerar .

13 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar : and so many of the Ethiopians fell that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Yahweh and before his army; and they carried away very much booty.
14 They struck all the cities around Gerar ; for the fear of Yahweh came on them, and they plundered all the cities; for there was much plunder in them.
