Compare all
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.
20 But the herdsmen of Gerar aquarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well1 Esek, because they quarreled with him.  
21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one also. So he called its name1 Sitnah.  
22 And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name1 Rehoboth, because he said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall abe fruitful in the land.”  
23 Then he went up from there to Beersheba.
24 And the Lord aappeared to him the same night and said, b“I am the God of your father Abraham; cdo not fear, for dI am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for My servant Abraham’s sake.”
