Genesis 26:12-24
12Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.1 13And the man became great, and continued, and grew until he became very great:2 14For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and very many servants: and the Philistines envied him.3 15For all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. 16And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. 17And Isaac departed from there, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. 18And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. 19And Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.4 20And the herdmen of Gerar contended with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.5 21And they dug another well, and contended for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.6 22And he departed from there, and dug another well; and for that they did not contend: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.7 23And he went up from there to Beersheba. 24And the LORD appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
