Abraham and Abimelech Make a Covenant

²² At that time Abim′elech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do; ²³ now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but as I have dealt loyally with you, you will deal with me and with the land where you have sojourned.” ²⁴ And Abraham said, “I will swear.”
