## Genesis 21:23 in Context (Verses 20–26 KJV)
 
 [20 ](/kjv/genesis/21/20) And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/genesis/21/21) And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/genesis/21/22) ¶ And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God *is* with thee in all that thou doest:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/genesis/21/23) Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: *but* according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/genesis/21/24) And Abraham said, I will swear.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/genesis/21/25) And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/genesis/21/26) And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I *of it*, but to day.
