Genesis 20:17
“So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 20Meaning
Abraham prays, and the narrative reports healing for Abimelech's household and restoration of fertility.
Read carefully
This specific healing account is not a universal promise that prayer will always resolve infertility or illness in the same way.
Reflection
The chapter ends not with Abraham's moral superiority but with intercession, restoration, and dependence on divine mercy.
