Genesis 26:26-34

26Then 1AbimelechH40 cameH1980 to him from GerarH1642 2with his adviserH4828 AhuzzathH276 and PhicolH6369 the commanderH8269 of his armyH6635. 27IsaacH3327 saidH559 to them, “3WhyH4069 have you comeH935 to me, since you hateH8130 me and have sentH7971 me awayH7971 from you?” 28They saidH559, “We seeH7200 plainlyH7200 4that the LordH3068 has beenH1961 with you; so we saidH559, ‘Let there nowH4994 be an oathH423 betweenH996 us, even betweenH996 5you and us, and let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with you, 29that you will doH6213 us noH518 harmH7463, justH3512 as we have not touchedH5060 you 6and have doneH6213 to you nothingH7534 but goodH2896 and have sentH7971 you awayH7971 in peaceH7965. You are nowH6258 the 7blessedH1288 of the LordH3068.’” 30Then 8he madeH6213 them a feastH4960, and they ateH398 and drankH8354. 31In the morningH1242 they aroseH7925 earlyH7925 and 910exchangedH7650 oathsH7650; then IsaacH3327 sentH7971 them awayH7971 and they departedH1980 from him in peaceH7965. 32Now it cameH1961 about on the sameH1931 dayH3117, that Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 cameH935 in and toldH5046 him aboutH5921H182 the wellH875 whichH834 they had dugH2658, and saidH559 to him, “We have foundH4672 waterH4325.” 33So he calledH7121 it ShibahH7656; thereforeH5921H3651 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 is 11BeershebaH884 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
