Genesis 26:22-33

22And he removed from thence, and digged another wellH875; and for that they strove not: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it RehobothH7344; and he saidH559, For nowH6258 Jehovah hath madeH7337 room for us, and we shall be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.

23And he wentH5927 up from thence to Beer-sheba. 24And Jehovah appearedH7200 unto him the same nightH3915, and saidH559, I am the GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1: fearH3372 not, for I am with thee, and will blessH1288 thee, and multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 for my servantH5650 Abraham’s sakeH5668. 25And he builded an altarH4196 there, and calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of Jehovah, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168 there: and there Isaac’s servantsH5650 digged a wellH875.

26Then AbimelechH40 wentH1980 to him from GerarH1642, and Ahuzzath his friend, and PhicolH6369 the captain of his hostH6635. 27And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto them, Wherefore are ye comeH935 unto me, seeing ye hateH8130 me, and have sentH7971 me awayH7971 from you? 28And they saidH559, We sawH7200 plainly that Jehovah wasH1961 with thee: and we saidH559, Let there now beH1961 an oathH423 betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee, 29that thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touchedH5060 thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but goodH2896, and have sentH7971 thee awayH7971 in peaceH7965: thou art nowH6258 the blessedH1288 of Jehovah. 30And he madeH6213 them a feastH4960, and they did eatH398 and drinkH8354. 31And they roseH7925 up betimes in the morningH1242, and sware oneH376 to another: and IsaacH3327 sentH7971 them awayH7971, and they departed from him in peaceH7965. 32And it cameH935 to pass the same dayH3117, that Isaac’s servantsH5650 cameH935, and toldH5046 him concerning the wellH875 which they had digged, and saidH559 unto him, We have foundH4672 waterH4325. 33And he calledH7121 it Shibah: thereforeH3651 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 is Beer-sheba unto this dayH3117.
