Genesis 26:19-23
Genesis 26:19
But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of flowing water,
Genesis 26:20
the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they argued with him.
Genesis 26:21
Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it Sitnah.
Genesis 26:22
Then he moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it Rehoboth, for he said, “At last the Lord has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
Genesis 26:23
And he went up from there to Beersheba.
