Genesis 26:15-22
-
15 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
-
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
-
17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
-
18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
-
19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
-
20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
-
21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
-
22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
