Isaac and Abimelech
6
So Isaac settled in Gerar.
7
When the men of the place asked him about his wife, 1he said, "She is my sister," for 2he feared to say, "My wife," thinking, "lest the men of the place should kill me because of Rebekah," because 3she was attractive in appearance.
8
When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac laughing witha Rebekah his wife.
9
So Abimelech called Isaac and said, "Behold, she is your wife. How then could you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because of her.'"
10
Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and 4you would have brought guilt upon us."
11
So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, "Whoever touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."
13
and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy.
15
(Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells 7that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.)
16
And Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we."
17
So Isaac departed from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
18
And Isaac dug again the wells of water that had been dug in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham. And 8he gave them the names that his father had given them.
19
But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of spring water,
20
the herdsmen of Gerar 9quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." So he called the name of the well Esek,b because they contended with him.
22
And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth,d saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."
23
From there he went up to Beersheba.
24
And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, 10"I am the God of Abraham your father. 11Fear not, for 12I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham's sake."
25
So he 13built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.
26
When Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and 14Phicol the commander of his army,
27
Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and 15have sent me away from you?"
28
They said, "We see plainly that the LORD has been with you. So we said, let there be a sworn pact between us, between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you,
29
that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. 16You are now the blessed of the LORD."
30
So he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31
In the morning they rose early and 17exchanged oaths. And Isaac sent them on their way, and they departed from him in peace.
32
That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well that they had dug and said to him, "We have found water."
