1Once during Abraham's lifetime, the fields had not produced enough grain, and now the same thing happened. So Isaac went to King Abimelech of the Philistines in the land of Gerar,
2because the Lord had appeared to Isaac and said:
Isaac, stay away from Egypt! I will show you where I want you to go.
3
5because Abraham did everything I told him to do.
6Isaac moved to Gerar
7 that Abraham had given to them.
19While his servants were digging in the valley, they found a spring-fed well.
20But the shepherds of Gerar Valley quarreled with Isaac's shepherds and claimed the water belonged to them. So this well was named “Quarrel,” because they had quarreled with Isaac.
21Isaac's servants dug another well, and the shepherds also quarreled about it. So that well was named “Jealous.”
22Finally, they dug one more well. There was no quarreling this time, and the well was named “Lots of Room,” because the Lord had given them room and would make them very successful.
23Isaac went on to Beersheba,
24where the Lord appeared to him that night and told him, “Don't be afraid! I am the God who was worshiped by your father Abraham, my servant. I will be with you and bless you, and because of Abraham I will give you many descendants.”
25Isaac built an altar there and worshiped the Lord. Then he set up camp, and his servants started digging a well.
26 and the town is still called Beersheba.Esau's Foreign Wives
