Genesis 20:14
βAbimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.β
What does Genesis 20:14 mean?
After a difficult misunderstanding where Abraham had claimed Sarah was his sister rather than his wife, King Abimelech discovers the truth and makes things right. He gives Abraham substantial gifts, including livestock and servants, along with returning Sarah safely. This act of restitution shows Abimelech taking responsibility for the situation, even though he had acted unknowingly. The gifts weren't just compensation but a gesture of respect and an attempt to restore peace between them after the confusion and tension.
