Genesis 21:22-34

22And it came to pass at that timeH6256 that AbimelechH40, and Phichol the captain of his hostH6635, spoke to AbrahamH85, sayingH559, 1GodH430 is with thee in all that thou doest. 23And nowH6258 swearH7650 to me hereH2008 by 2GodH430 that thou wilt not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the landH776 in which thou sojournest. 24And AbrahamH85 saidH559, I will swearH7650. 25And AbrahamH85 reprovedH3198 AbimelechH40 because of a wellH875 of waterH4325 that Abimelech's servantsH5650 had violently taken awayH1497. 26And AbimelechH40 saidH559, I do not knowH3045 who has done this, neither hast thou toldH5046 me [of it], neither have I heardH8085 [of it] but to-day. 27And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, and gaveH5414 them to AbimelechH40; and both of them madeH3772 a covenantH1285. 28And AbrahamH85 setH5324 sevenH7651 ewe-lambs of the flockH6629 by themselves. 29And AbimelechH40 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, What [mean] these sevenH7651 ewe-lambs, these which thou hast setH5324 by themselves? 30And he saidH559, That thou takeH3947 the sevenH7651 ewe-lambs of my handH3027, that they may beH1961 a witness to me that I have dugH2658 this wellH875. 31ThereforeH3651 he calledH7121 that placeH4725 Beer-sheba, because there they had swornH7650, both of them. 32And they madeH3772 a covenantH1285 at Beer-sheba. And AbimelechH40 roseH6965 up, and Phichol the captain of his hostH6635, and returnedH7725 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430. 33And [Abraham] plantedH5193 a tamariskH815 in Beer-sheba, and calledH7121 there on the nameH8034 of Jehovah, the Eternal 3GodH410. 34And AbrahamH85 sojourned in the Philistines' landH776 manyH7227 daysH3117.
