25 Then Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
26 Abimelech said, "I don’t know who has done this, and you didn’t tell me. I didn’t even hear about it until today."
27 Abraham took flocks and cattle, gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them drew up a treaty.
28 Abraham set aside, by themselves, seven female lambs from the flock.
29 So Abimelech said to Abraham, "What are these seven lambs you’ve set apart?"
30 Abraham said, "These seven lambs that you take from me will attest that I dug this well."
31 Therefore, the name of that place is Beer-sheba because there they gave each other their word.
