Genesis 26:22-33

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.

25And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah. And he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well.

26And Abimelech, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol the captain of his host, went to him from Gerar.

27And Isaac said to them, Why are ye come to me, seeing ye hate me, and have driven me away from you?

28And they said, We saw certainly that Jehovah is with thee; and we said, Let there be then an oath between us — between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,

29that thou wilt do us no wrong, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done to thee nothing but good, and have let thee go in peace; thou art now blessed of Jehovah.

30And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

31And they rose early in the morning, and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

32And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well that they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.

33And he called it Shebah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.
