¹²Isaac planted seed in that land, and that year he gathered a great harvest. The Lord blessed him very much, ¹³and he became rich. He gathered more wealth until he became a very rich man. ¹⁴He had so many slaves and flocks and herds that the Philistines envied him. ¹⁵So they stopped up all the wells the servants of Isaac’s father Abraham had dug. (They had dug them when Abraham was alive.) The Philistines filled those wells with dirt. ¹⁶And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Leave our country because you have become much more powerful than we are.”

¹⁷So Isaac left that place and camped in the Valley of Gerar and lived there. ¹⁸Long before this time Abraham had dug many wells, but after he died, the Philistines filled them with dirt. So Isaac dug those wells again and gave them the same names his father had given them. ¹⁹Isaac’s servants dug a well in the valley, from which a spring of water flowed. ²⁰But the herdsmen of Gerar argued with them and said, “This water is ours.” So Isaac named that well Argue because they argued with him. ²¹Then his servants dug another well. When the people also argued about it, Isaac named that well Fight. ²²He moved from there and dug another well. No one argued about this one, so he named it Room Enough. Isaac said, “Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will be successful in this land.”
