Gen 26:16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us, for you are too powerful for us."
Gen 26:17 And Isaac departed from there and camped in the valley of Gerar, and settled there.
Gen 26:18 ¶ Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the same names which his father had given them.
Gen 26:19 But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of flowing water,
Gen 26:20 the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, "The water is ours!" So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.
Gen 26:21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it Sitnah.
Gen 26:22 He moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it Rehoboth, for he said, "At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."
Gen 26:23 ¶ Then he went up from there to Beersheba.
Gen 26:24 The LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham; Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you, and multiply your descendants, For the sake of My servant Abraham."
Gen 26:25 So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well.
Gen 26:26 ¶ Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with his adviser Ahuzzath and Phicol the commander of his army.
Gen 26:27 Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?"
Gen 26:28 They said, "We see plainly that the LORD has been with you; so we said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you,
Gen 26:29 that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD.'"
Gen 26:31 In the morning they arose early and exchanged oaths; then Isaac sent them away and they departed from him in peace.
Gen 26:32 Now it came about on the same day, that Isaac's servants came in and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."
Gen 26:33 So he called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
Gen 26:34 ¶ When Esau was forty years old he married Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite;
Gen 26:35 and they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
Gen 27:1 Now it came about, when Isaac was old and his eyes were too dim to see, that he called his older son Esau and said to him, "My son." And he said to him, "Here I am."
