Genesis 26:14-22

Genesis 26:14-22

[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.
