Genesis 26:15-18

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.
