Genesis 26:22-33

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.”

23From there he went up to Beer-sheba,

24and the Lord appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your offspring because of my servant Abraham.”

25So he built an altar there, called on the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there. Isaac’s servants also dug a well there.

26Now Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.

27Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me? You hated me and sent me away from you.”

28They replied, “We have clearly seen how the Lord has been with you. We think there should be an oath between two parties — between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you:

29You will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only what was good to you, sending you away in peace. You are now blessed by the Lord.”

30So he prepared a banquet for them, and they ate and drank.

31They got up early in the morning and swore an oath to each other. Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.

32On that same day Isaac’s servants came to tell him about the well they had dug, saying to him, “We have found water!”

33He called it Sheba. Therefore the name of the city is still Beer-sheba today.
