Genesis 26:6-8
Amplified Bible
6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar. 7 The men of the place asked him about his wife, and he said, “She is my [a]sister,” for he was afraid to say, “my wife”—thinking, “the men of the place might kill me on account of Rebekah, since she is very beautiful.” 8 It happened when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac [b]caressing Rebekah his wife.
