Genesis 26:14-22

14for 1he had possessions of flocks 2and herds and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him. 15Now 3all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up 4by filling them with earth. 16Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are 56too powerful for us.” 17And Isaac departed from there and camped in the valley of Gerar, and 7settled there.

18Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which 8had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he 9gave them the same names which his father had 10given them. 19But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of 11flowing water, 20the herdsmen of Gerar 12quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, “The water is ours!” So he named the well 13Esek, because they contended with him. 21Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it 14Sitnah. 22He moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it 15Rehoboth, for he said, “1617At last the Lord has made 18room for us, and we will be 19fruitful in the land.”
