Genesis 26:12-32

Genesis 26:12-32

[12] Then Isaac  sowed  in that land,  and received  in the same year  an hundredfold:  and the LORD  blessed  [13] And the man  waxed great,  forward,  very  great:  [14] For he had possession  of flocks,  and possession  of herds,  and great store  of servants:  and the Philistines  envied  him. [15] For all the wells  which his father's  servants  had digged  in the days  of Abraham  his father,  the Philistines  had stopped  them, and filled  them with earth.  [16] And Abimelech  said  unto Isaac,  from us; for thou art much  mightier  [17] And Isaac  thence, and pitched his tent  in the valley  of Gerar,  and dwelt  there.  [18] And 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  by which  his father  had called  them. [19] And Isaac's  servants  digged  in the valley,  and found  there a well  of springing  water.  [20] of Gerar  did strive  with Isaac's  saying,  The water  is ours: and he called  the name  of the well  Esek;  because they strove  with him. [21] And they digged  another  well,  and strove  for that also: and he called  the name of it  Sitnah.  [22] And 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  the LORD  hath made room  for us, and we shall be fruitful  in the land.  [23] And he went up  from thence to Beersheba.  [24] And the LORD  appeared  unto him the same night,  and said,  I am the God  of Abraham  thy father:  fear  not, for I am with  thee, and will bless  thee, and multiply  thy seed  for my servant  Abraham's  [25] And he builded  an altar  there, and called  upon the name  of the LORD,  and pitched  his tent  there: and there Isaac's  servants  digged  a well.  [26] Then Abimelech  went  to him from Gerar,  and Ahuzzath  one of his friends,  and Phichol  the chief captain  of his army.  [27] And Isaac  said  unto them, Wherefore  come  ye to me, seeing ye hate  me, and have sent me away  [28] And they said,  We saw  that the LORD  was with thee: and we said,  Let there be now an oath  betwixt  us and thee, and let us make  a covenant  [29] That thou wilt do  us no hurt,  as we have not touched  thee, and as we have done  unto thee nothing but  good,  and have sent thee away  in peace:  thou art now  the blessed  of the LORD.  [30] And he made  them a feast,  and they did eat  and drink.  [31] And they rose up betimes  in the morning,  and sware  one  to another:  and Isaac  sent them away,  from him in peace.  [32] And it came to pass the same day,  that Isaac's  servants  came,  and told  him concerning  the well  which they had digged,  and said  unto him, We have found  water.
