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 waterH4325.1 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.2 21And they dugH2658 anotherH312 wellH875, and contendedH7378 for that also: and he calledH7121 the name of itH8034 SitnahH7856.3 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 landH776.4
