Genesis 26:26-33
26Then 1Abimelech came to him from Gerar 2with his adviser Ahuzzath, and Phicol the commander of his army. 27Isaac said to them, “3Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?” 28They said, “We have seen plainly 4that the Lord has been with you; so we said, ‘An oath must now be taken 5by us,’ that is, 6by you and us. So let us make a covenant with you, 29that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you 7and have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace. You are now the 8blessed of the Lord.” 30Then 9he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. 31In the morning they got up early and 1011exchanged oaths; then Isaac sent them away, and they left him in peace. 32Now it came about on the same day, that Isaac’s servants came in and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.” 33So he called it 12Shibah; therefore the name of the city is 13Beersheba to this day.
