Genesis:26:15-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
And Abimelech said unto Isaac ,
Go from us ;
for thou art much mightier than we .
*
And Isaac departed thence ,
and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar ,
and dwelt there .
*
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 after the names by which his father had called them .
*
And Isaac '
s servants digged in the valley ,
and found there a well of springing water .
*
And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac '
s herdmen ,
saying ,
The water is ours :
and he called the name of the well Esek ;
because they strove with him .
*
And they digged another well ,
and strove for that also :
and he called the name of it Sitnah .
*
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 .
