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.”
25 So he abuilt an altar there and bcalled on the name of the Lord, and he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.
26 Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath, one of his friends, aand Phichol the commander of his army.
27 And Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, asince you hate me and have bsent me away from you?”
28 But they said, “We have certainly seen that the Lord ais with you. So we said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, between you and us; and let us make a1 covenant with you,
29 that you will do us no harm, since we have not touched you, and since we have done nothing to you but good and have sent you away in peace. aYou are now the blessed of the Lord.’ ”
30 aSo he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31 Then they arose early in the morning and aswore an oath with one another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32 It came to pass the same day that Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.”
33 So he called it1 Shebah. aTherefore the name of the city is2 Beersheba to this day.
