Genesis 21:22-34

22Now it came about at that time that 1Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, “2God is with you in all that you do; 23now therefore, 3swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but according to the kindness that I have shown to you, you shall show to me and to the land in which you have sojourned.” 24Abraham said, “I swear it.” 25But Abraham 4complained to Abimelech because of the well of water which the servants of Abimelech 5had seized. 26And Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor did I hear of it 6until today.”

27Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and 7the two of them made a covenant. 28Then Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 29Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs mean, which you have set by themselves?” 30He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand so that it may be a 8witness to me, that I dug this well.” 31Therefore he called that place 9Beersheba, because there the two of them took an oath. 32So they made a covenant at Beersheba; and Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, arose and returned to the land of the Philistines. 33Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba, and there 10he called on the name of the Lord, the 11Everlasting God. 34And Abraham sojourned 12in the land of the Philistines for many days.
