So he gave that place the name Beer-sheba, because there the two of them had given their oaths.

And Abraham said, Because it seemed to me that there was no fear of God in this place, and that they might put me to death because of my wife.
And Abraham gave to his son, to whom Sarah had given birth, the name Isaac.
Then Abimelech gave to Abraham sheep and oxen and men-servants and women-servants, and gave him back his wife Sarah.
And Sarah became with child, and gave Abraham a son when he was old, at the time named by God.
And, in fact, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:
And this was a great grief to Abraham because of his son.
And Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had been talking with the Lord:
But Lot's wife, looking back, became a pillar of salt.
Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will you put to death an upright nation?
And the younger had a son and gave him the name Ben-ammi: from him come the children of Ammon to this day.
And that night they made their father take much wine; and the older daughter went into his bed; and he had no knowledge of when she went in or when she went away.
And the older daughter said to her sister, Our father is old, and there is no man to be a husband to us in the natural way:
And Abraham said of Sarah, his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent and took Sarah.
Then the Lord sent fire and flaming smoke raining down from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah.
And Abraham went on his way from there to the land of the South, and was living between Kadesh and Shur, in Gerar.
Then Lot went up out of Zoar to the mountain, and was living there with his two daughters, for fear kept him from living in Zoar: and he and his daughters made their living-place in a hole in the rock.
And looking in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the lowland, he saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of an oven.
And he sent destruction on those towns, with all the lowland and all the people of those towns and every green thing in the land.
And on the day after, the older daughter said to the younger, Last night I was with my father; let us make him take much wine this night again, and do you go to him, so that we may have offspring by our father.
Genesis 20
And so the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
And the older daughter had a son, and she gave him the name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Come, let us give our father much wine, and we will go into his bed, so that we may have offspring by our father,
And that night again they made their father take much wine; and the younger daughter went into his bed; and he had no knowledge of when she went in or when she went away.
But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.
So it came about that when God sent destruction on the towns of the lowland, he kept his word to Abraham, and sent Lot safely away when he put an end to the towns where he was living.
Is there any wonder which the Lord is not able to do? At the time I said, in the spring, I will come back to you, and Sarah will have a child.
Go there quickly, for I am not able to do anything till you have come there. For this reason, the town was named Zoar.
And the Lord said, If there are fifty upright men in the town, I will have mercy on it because of them.
