He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:

But God didn’t allow anyone to treat them badly. To keep them safe, he gave a command to kings.

he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,

Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf:

he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their behalf:

He allowed no one to oppress them, And He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,

He permitted no one to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,

He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

He allowed no one to oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

and they started on their journey. The surrounding cities were afraid of God, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and warned him,“ Be careful that you neither bless nor curse Jacob.”Laban overtook Jacob, and when Jacob pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead, Laban and his relatives set up camp there too.“ What have you done?” Laban demanded of Jacob.“ You’ve deceived me and carried away my daughters as if they were captives of war!Why did you run away secretly and deceive me? Why didn’t you tell me so I could send you off with a celebration complete with singing, tambourines, and harps?You didn’t even allow me to kiss my daughters and my grandchildren good-bye. You have acted foolishly!I have the power to do you harm, but the God of your father told me last night,‘ Be careful that you neither bless nor curse Jacob.’

Tell him,‘ The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you to say,“ Release my people, that they may serve me in the desert!” But until now you have not listened.Thus says the LORD:“ By this you will know that I am the LORD: I am going to strike the water of the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and it will be turned into blood.

He had so many sheep and cattle and such a great household of servants that the Philistines became jealous of him.So the Philistines took dirt and filled up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug back in the days of his father Abraham.Then Abimelech said to Isaac,“ Leave us and go elsewhere, for you have become much more powerful than we are.”So Isaac left there and settled in the Gerar Valley.Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug back in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham died. Isaac gave these wells the same names his father had given them.When Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well with fresh flowing water there,the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying,“ The water belongs to us!” So Isaac named the well Esek because they argued with him about it.His servants dug another well, but they quarreled over it too, so Isaac named it Sitnah.Then he moved away from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over it, so Isaac named it Rehoboth, saying,“ For now the LORD has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”From there Isaac went up to Beer Sheba.The LORD appeared to him that night and said,“ I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.”Then Isaac built an altar there and worshiped the LORD. He pitched his tent there, and his servants dug a well.Now Abimelech had come to him from Gerar along with Ahuzzah his friend and Phicol the commander of his army.Isaac asked them,“ Why have you come to me? You hate me and sent me away from you.”They replied,“ We could plainly see that the LORD is with you. So we decided there should be a pact between us– between us and you. Allow us to make a treaty with youso that you will not do us any harm, just as we have not harmed you, but have always treated you well before sending you away in peace. Now you are blessed by the LORD.”So Isaac held a feast for them and they celebrated.Early in the morning the men made a treaty with each other. Isaac sent them off; they separated on good terms.That day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug.“ We’ve found water,” they reported.So he named it Shibah; that is why the name of the city has been Beer Sheba to this day.

Abraham journeyed from there to the Negev region and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he lived as a temporary resident in Gerar,Abraham said about his wife Sarah,“ She is my sister.” So Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent for Sarah and took her.But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream at night and said to him,“ You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is someone else’s wife.”Now Abimelech had not gone near her. He said,“ Lord, would you really slaughter an innocent nation?Did Abraham not say to me,‘ She is my sister’? And she herself said,‘ He is my brother.’ I have done this with a clear conscience and with innocent hands!”Then in the dream God replied to him,“ Yes, I know that you have done this with a clear conscience. That is why I have kept you from sinning against me and why I did not allow you to touch her.But now give back the man’s wife. Indeed he is a prophet and he will pray for you; thus you will live. But if you don’t give her back, know that you will surely die along with all who belong to you.”

When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.When Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. So Abram’s wife was taken into the household of Pharaoh,and he did treat Abram well on account of her. Abram received sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.But the LORD struck Pharaoh and his household with severe diseases because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
