King Abimelech took Sarah as his wife but ended up seeing God in a dream. There after he returned Sarah to Abraham and made peace with him. God has the power to control the way things flow, but no more dreams in our time. And there are God fearing people; you just need to provide the proper methods get them on board.
God finally gives Abraham and Sarah a son, Issac. They were super old by then, about 100 years old. It was part of God's promise to them that he would give them a son, they just needed to wait a long time. We need to wait too some times. Abraham's first son Ishmael was sent off; Ishmael would become a great nation. Abraham makes treaty with Abimelech at Beersheba.
Abraham was tested with the sacrificing of Issac on an altar. Since he feared God and did what he was told even though it was with his only son, God blessed him and his descendants . Isaac show obedience too allowing his old father to tied him up and chop him. Isaac survived the test. Both father and son pass the love-God test.
