Genesis 26

11  And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

12  And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold. And Jehovah blessed him.

13  And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great.

14  And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household. And the Philistines envied him.

15  Now all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.

16  And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us. For thou art much mightier than we.

17  And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

18  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.

19  And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

20  And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, The water is ours. And he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
