01:026:018 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.
01:026:019 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a
well of springing water.
01:026:020 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.
01:026:021 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and
he called the name of it Sitnah.
01:026:022 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.
01:026:023 And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
01:026:024 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I
am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and
will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
01:026:025 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of
the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged
a well.
01:026:026 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of
his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
01:026:027 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye
hate me, and have sent me away from you?
01:026:028 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee:
and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and
thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
01:026:029 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee,
and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away
in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
01:026:030 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
01:026:031 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to
another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
01:026:032 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants
came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said
unto him, We have found water.
01:026:033 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is
Beersheba unto this day.
01:026:034 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the
daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the
Hittite:
01:026:035 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
01:027:001 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes
were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and
said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
01:027:002 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my
death:
01:027:003 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and
thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
