Genesis 26:19-22

19But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of 1flowing water, 20the herdsmen of Gerar 2quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, “The water is ours!” So he named the well 3Esek, because they argued with him. 21Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it 4Sitnah. 22Then he moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it 5Rehoboth, for he said, “67At last the Lord has made 8room for us, and we will be 9fruitful in the land.”
