Genesis 20:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ Abimelech said to Sarah, “I gave your brother Abraham ·twenty-five pounds [^Lone thousand pieces] of silver ·to make up for any wrong that people may think about you [^L—a covering of the eyes to all who are with you; ^Can indication that nothing improper happened]. I want everyone to know that you are innocent.”

¹⁷ Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his servant girls so they could have children. ¹⁸ The Lord had ·kept all the women in Abimelech’s house from having children [^Lclosed up every womb of the house of Abimelech] ·as a punishment on Abimelech for taking [^Lon account of] Abraham’s wife Sarah.
