Genesis 26:19-25

19Isaac's servants went to dig in the valley. They found another well there. It was full of fresh water.

20But the shepherds of Gerar quarrelled with Isaac's shepherds. They said, ‘The water belongs to us!’ So Isaac called that well Esek, because they quarrelled with him there.

21So Isaac's servants dug another well. But the shepherds of Gerar quarrelled about that one too. Isaac called that well Sitnah.

22Isaac moved away from Sitnah and he dug another well. No one quarrelled with him about this well. So he called it Rehoboth. He said, ‘Now the Lord has given us a place to live. We will have many good things in this land.’

23From that place, Isaac went to Beersheba.

24That night the Lord appeared to him. The Lord said, ‘I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, because I am with you. I will bless you. I will give you many descendants because of my servant Abraham.’

25Isaac built an altar there and he worshipped the Lord. He put up his tent there. His servants dug a well.
