Genesis 26:12-24

12Isaac planted ⌞crops⌟ in that land. In that same year he harvested a hundred times as much as he had planted because the Lord had blessed him.

13He continued to be successful, becoming very rich.

14Because he owned so many flocks, herds, and servants, the Philistines became jealous of him.

15So the Philistines filled in all the wells that his father’s servants had dug during his father Abraham’s lifetime.

16Finally, Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us! You’ve become more powerful than we are.”

17So Isaac moved away. He set up his tents in the Gerar Valley and lived there.

18He dug out the wells that had been dug during his father Abraham’s lifetime. The Philistines had filled them in after Abraham’s death. He gave them the same names that his father had given them.

19Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a spring-fed well.

20The herders from Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herders, claiming, “This water is ours!” So Isaac named the well Esek [Argument], because they had argued with him.

21Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one too. So Isaac named it Sitnah [Accusation].

22He moved on from there and dug another well. They didn’t quarrel over this one. So he named it Rehoboth [Roomy] and said, “Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will prosper in this land.”

23He went from there to Beersheba.

24That night the Lord appeared to Isaac, and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Don’t be afraid, because I am with you. I will bless you and increase the number of your descendants for my servant Abraham’s sake.”
