Genesis 26:12-24

12Then Isaac planted [seed] in that land [as a farmer] and reaped in the same year a hundred times [as much as he had planted], and the Lord blessed and favored him.

13And the man [Isaac] became great and gained more and more until he became very wealthy and extremely distinguished;

14he owned flocks and herds and a great household [with a number of servants], and the Philistines envied him.

15Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with dirt.

16Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from here, because you are far too powerful for us.”

17So Isaac left that region and camped in the Valley of Gerar, and settled there.

18Now Isaac again dug [and reopened] the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father, because the Philistines had filled them up [with dirt] after the death of Abraham; and he gave the wells the same names that his father had given them.

19But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of flowing [spring] water,

20the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours!” So Isaac named the well Esek (quarreling), because they quarreled with him.

21Then his servants dug another well, and they quarreled over that also, so Isaac named it Sitnah (enmity).

22He moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over that one; so he named it Rehoboth (broad places), saying, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be prosperous in the land.”

23Then he went up from there to Beersheba.

24The Lord appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father; Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless and favor you, and multiply your descendants, For the sake of My servant Abraham.”
