Genesis 26:19-22

19Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water1 there. 20But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek,2 because they contended with him.

21Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.3

22He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth4 and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
