Genesis 26:12-24

12And Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold; and Jehovah blessed him.

13And the man became great, and he became continually greater, until he was very great.

14And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great number of servants; and the Philistines envied him.

15And all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them and filled them with earth.

16And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for thou art become much mightier than we.

17And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his camp in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

18And Isaac dug again the wells of water that they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and that the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

19And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

20But the shepherds of Gerar strove with Isaac's shepherds, saying, The water is ours. And he called the name of the well Esek, because they had quarrelled with him.

21And they dug another well, and they strove for that also; and he called the name of it Sitnah.

22And he removed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive for that. And he called the name of it Rehoboth, and said, For now Jehovah has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

23And he went up thence to Beer-sheba.

24And Jehovah appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the 1God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
