Genesis 26:12–22

¹²Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold,^r because the Lord blessed him.^{s 13}The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.^{t 14}He had so many flocks and herds and servants^u that the Philistines envied him.^{v 15}So all the wells^w that his father’s servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up,^x filling them with earth.

¹⁶Then Abimelek said to Isaac, “Move away from us;^y you have become too powerful for us.^z”

¹⁷So Isaac moved away from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar,^a where he settled. ¹⁸Isaac reopened the wells^b that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.

¹⁹Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there. ²⁰But the herders of Gerar quarreled^c with those of Isaac and said, “The water is ours!”^d So he named the well Esek,^c because they disputed with him. ²¹Then they dug another well, but they quarreled^e over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.^{d 22}He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth,^ef saying, “Now the Lord has given us room^g and we will flourish^h in the land.”
