Genesis 26:14-22

14For he had possessionH4735 of flocksH6629, and possessionH4735 of herdsH1241, and very manyH7227 servantsH5657: and the PhilistinesH6430 enviedH7065 him.1 15For all the wellsH875 which his father’sH1 servantsH5650 had dugH2658 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 them, and filledH4390 them with earthH6083. 16And AbimelechH40 saidH559 to IsaacH3327, GoH3212 from us; for thou art muchH3966 mightierH6105 than we. 17And IsaacH3327 departedH3212 from there, and pitched his tentH2583 in the valleyH5158 of GerarH1642, and dweltH3427 thereH8033. 18And IsaacH3327 dugH2658 againH7725 the wellsH875 of waterH4325, which they had dugH2658 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his fatherH1; for the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 them afterH310 the deathH4194 of AbrahamH85: and he calledH7121 their namesH8034 after the namesH8034 by whichH834 his fatherH1 had calledH7121 them. 19And Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 dugH2658 in the valleyH5158, and foundH4672 there a wellH875 of springingH2416 waterH4325.2 20And the herdmenH7462 of GerarH1642 contendedH7378 with Isaac’sH3327 herdmenH7462, sayingH559, The waterH4325 is ours: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the wellH875 EsekH6230; because they stroveH6229 with him.3 21And they dugH2658 anotherH312 wellH875, and contendedH7378 for that also: and he calledH7121 the name of itH8034 SitnahH7856.4 22And he departedH6275 from there, and dugH2658 anotherH312 wellH875; and for that they did not contendH7378: and he calledH7121 the name of itH8034 RehobothH7344; and he saidH559, For nowH6258 the LORDH3068 hath made roomH7337 for us, and we shall be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.5
