20 But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours! ” So he named the well Quarrel because they quarreled with him.
21 Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also, so he named it Hostility.
22 He moved from there and dug another, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Open Spaces and said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
23 From there he went up to Beer-sheba,
24 and the Lord appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your offspring because of My servant Abraham.”
25 So he built an altar there, called on the name of Yahweh, and pitched his tent there. Isaac’s slaves also dug a well there.
26 Now Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
