Augustine of Hippo, On Marriage and Concupiscence II.27Book II
“Now why he narrated all this at so great a length, you may find in these few words which he added: “God,” he says, “at the prayer of Abraham, restored their potency of generation, which had been taken away from the wombs of even the meanest servants; because God had closed up every womb in the house of Abimelech.” — editor's note: Gen. xx. 18.
