Derivation
Appears 67 times in Scripture
“Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maidservants, so that they could again bear children—”
“Then Abimelech called Abraham and asked, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought such tremendous guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done.””
“Abimelech also asked Abraham, “What prompted you to do such a thing?””
“for on account of Abraham’s wife Sarah, the LORD had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech’s household.”
“But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,”
“Early the next morning Abimelech got up and summoned all his servants; and when he described to them all that had happened, the men were terrified.”
“Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.”
“So Abimelech brought sheep and cattle, menservants and maidservants, and he gave them to Abraham and restored his wife Sarah to him.”
“And Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever you please.””
“At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.”
