Compare all
13 The man abegan to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;  
14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines aenvied him.  
15 Now the Philistines had stopped up all the wells awhich his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and they had filled them with earth.  
16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for ayou are much mightier than we.”  
17 Then Isaac departed from there and1 pitched his tent in the Valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.  
18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. aHe called them by the names which his father had called them.  
19 Also Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found a well of running water there.

Genesis 26:12-17

Did he stay around and fight them? Remember, he became very great. Now, when we understand, let us say, about Abraham's greatness, Abraham was able to put together an army. I want you to think about this. In a way, this is what Isaac inherited. Do you think Isaac could have put together an army? Oh yes, he could have because in his own right, he too was a king just like this Abimelech. But in his humility, he did not take the title at all. So Isaac just picked up and left.
