Genesis 26:
12*Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.13*And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became 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, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
17*And Isaac departed 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 after the 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*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.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.
