19 But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of running water there,
20 the herdsmen of Gerar contended with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21 They dug another well and quarreled over that also. So he called the name of it Sitnah.
22 Then he moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called the name of it Rehoboth, for he said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
23 He went up from there to Beersheba.
24 The Lord appeared to him that same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”
25 He built an altar there, called on the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac’s servants dug a well.
