Genesis 26:14-22

14He had flocks of sheep, herds of cattle, and many slaves, and the Philistines were envious of him.

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

16And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Leave us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

17So Isaac left there, camped in the Gerar Valley, and lived there.

18Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham and that the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. He gave them the same names his father had given them.

19Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of spring water there.

20But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek because they argued with him.

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

22He moved from there and dug another, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “For now the Lord has made space for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
