Genesis 21:25-32

25Then Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had taken by force from Abraham’s servants.

26“This is the first I’ve heard of it,” Abimelech answered. “I have no idea who is responsible. You have never complained about this before.”

27Abraham then gave some of his sheep, goats, and cattle to Abimelech, and they made a treaty.

28But Abraham also took seven additional female lambs and set them off by themselves.

29Abimelech asked, “Why have you set these seven apart from the others?”

30Abraham replied, “Please accept these seven lambs to show your agreement that I dug this well.”

31Then he named the place Beersheba (which means “well of the oath”), because that was where they had sworn the oath.

32After making their covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech left with Phicol, the commander of his army, and they returned home to the land of the Philistines.
