Genesis:26:12-24
rsv@Genesis:26:12 @ And Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The LORD blessed him,
rsv@Genesis:26:13 @ and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy.
rsv@Genesis:26:14 @ He had possessions of flocks and herds, and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him.
rsv@Genesis:26:15 @ (Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.)
rsv@Genesis:26:16 @ And Abim'elech said to Isaac, "Go away from us; for you are much mightier than we."
rsv@Genesis:26:17 @ So Isaac departed from there, and encamped in the valley of Gerar and dwelt there.
rsv@Genesis:26:18 @ And Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.
rsv@Genesis:26:19 @ But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of springing water,
rsv@Genesis:26:20 @ the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
rsv@Genesis:26:21 @ Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also; so he called its name Sitnah.
rsv@Genesis:26:22 @ And he moved from there and dug another well, and over that they did not quarrel; so he called its name Reho'both, saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."
rsv@Genesis:26:23 @ From there he went up to Beer-sheba.
rsv@Genesis:26:24 @ And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father; fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."
