Genesis 26:22-33
22He moved onH6275 from thereH8033 and dugH2658H875 anotherH312 well, and they did notH3808 quarrelH7378 over itH5921. He namedH7121 itH8034 RehobothH73441 and saidH559, “At lastH3588H6258 the LORDH3068 has made roomH7337 for us, and we will be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.”
23From thereH8033 Isaac went upH5927 to BeershebaH884, 24and thatH1931 nightH3915 the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to himH413 and saidH559, “IH595 am the GodH430 of your fatherH1 AbrahamH85. Do notH408 be afraidH3372, forH3588 IH595 am with youH854. I will blessH1288 you and multiplyH7235 your descendantsH2233 for the sakeH5668 of My servantH5650 AbrahamH85.”
25So Isaac builtH1129 an altarH4196 thereH8033 and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and he pitchedH5186 his tentH168 thereH8033. His servantsH5650 also dugH3738 a wellH875 thereH8033.
26Later, AbimelechH40 cameH1980 toH413 Isaac from GerarH1642, with AhuzzathH276 his adviserH4828 and PhicolH6369 the commanderH8269 of his armyH6635.
27“WhyH4069 have you comeH935 to meH413?” IsaacH3327 askedH559 themH413. “YouH859 hatedH8130 meH853 and sent me awayH7971H854.”
28“We can plainly seeH7200 thatH3588 the LORDH3068 has beenH1961 with youH5973,” they repliedH559. “We recommend thatH559 there should now beH1961H4994 an oathH423 betweenH996 usH996 and youH996. Let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with youH5973 29that you will notH518 harmH7451 usH5973, just asH834 we have notH3808 harmed youH5060 butH834 have doneH6213 onlyH7535 goodH2896 to youH5973, sending you on your wayH7971 in peaceH7965. And nowH6258 youH859 are blessedH1288 by the LORDH3068.”
30So Isaac preparedH6213 a feastH4960 for them, and they ateH398 and drankH8354. 31And they got up earlyH7925 the next morningH1242 and swore an oathH7650 to eachH376 otherH251. Then IsaacH3327 sent them on their wayH7971, and they left himH1980H854 in peaceH7965.
On that sameH1931 dayH3117, Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 cameH935 and toldH5046 him aboutH5921H182 the wellH875 they had dugH2658. “We have foundH4672 waterH4325!” they toldH559 him. 33So he calledH7121 itH853 ShibahH7656,2 andH5921 toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 is BeershebaH884.3
