Genesis 26:12–22

¹²And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold: and Jehovah blessed him. ¹³And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great: ¹⁴and he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household: and the Philistines envied him. ¹⁵Now all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth. ¹⁶And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. ¹⁷And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

¹⁸And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged 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 digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. ²⁰And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him. ²¹And they digged another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. ²²And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now Jehovah hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
