01:026:008 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that
Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and,
behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
01:026:009 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she
is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto
him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
01:026:010 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one
of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest
have brought guiltiness upon us.
01:026:011 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that
toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
01:026:012 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year
an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
01:026:013 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he
became very great:
01:026:014 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and
great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
01:026:015 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.
01:026:016 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much
mightier than we.
01:026:017 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley
of Gerar, and dwelt there.
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?
