14 for he had possession of flocks, possession of herds, great store of servants, and the Philistines envied him.
15 For all the wells which his father’s slaves had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them and filled them with earth.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.
17 And Isaac departed from there and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar and dwelt there.
18 And Isaac reopened the wells of water, which they had opened in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham, and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 And Isaac’s slaves dug in the valley and found there a well of living waters.
20 And the pastors of Gerar strove with Isaac’s pastors, saying, The water is ours; therefore he called the name of the well Esek, because they strove with him.
