Genesis 26:12-24

12When Isaac planted in that land, he reaped in the same year a hundred times what he had sown, because the Lord blessed him.

13The man became wealthy. His influence continued to grow until he became very prominent.

14He had so many sheep and cattle and such a great household of servants that the Philistines became jealous of him.

15So the Philistines took dirt and filled up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug back in the days of his father Abraham.

16Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Leave us and go elsewhere, for you have become much more powerful than we are.”

17So Isaac left there and settled in the Gerar Valley.

18Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug back in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham died. Isaac gave these wells the same names his father had given them.

19When Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well with fresh flowing water there,

20the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water belongs to us!” So Isaac named the well Esek because they argued with him about it.

21His servants dug another well, but they quarreled over it too, so Isaac named it Sitnah.

22Then he moved away from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over it, so Isaac named it Rehoboth, saying, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”

23From there Isaac went up to Beer Sheba.

24The Lord appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.”
