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.  ‡

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.
