In Genesis 20:2, Abraham's deception started this incident; here, Abimelech returns Sarah after learning the truth.

In Genesis 20:7, God commanded Abimelech to return Sarah; this shows him obeying that divine instruction.

Genesis 20:11 establishes Abraham's fear — no fear of God in this place — as the reason for the deception, setting up the resolution of restitution that follows.

Genesis 12:16 shows the same pattern — Abraham received livestock and servants after presenting Sarah as his sister to Pharaoh, just as Abimelech gives them here.

In Genesis 12:20, Pharaoh sends Abraham away with Sarah and gifts, paralleling Abimelech's actions here.

In Genesis 21:23, Abimelech later seeks a covenant with Abraham, building on this restored relationship.
