But the Lord sent terrible plagues upon Pharaoh and his household because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants, so they could have children.
For the Lord had caused all the women to be infertile because of what happened with Abraham’s wife, Sarah.
But that night God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are a dead man, for that woman you have taken is already married!”
Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf:
David said to Araunah, “Let me buy this threshing floor from you at its full price. Then I will build an altar to the Lord there, so that he will stop the plague.”
He doesn’t care how great a person may be, and he pays no more attention to the rich than to the poor. He made them all.
Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.
