Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”Genesis 21:24And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”Genesis 21:25But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,Genesis 21:26Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this.
