So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>And the LORD appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; stay in the land of which I shall tell you. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>“Sojourn in this land and I will be with you and bless you, for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to your father Abraham. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>“And I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>because Abraham obeyed Me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>So Isaac lived in Gerar. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>When the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “my wife,” <i>thinking,</i> “the men of the place might kill me on account of Rebekah, for she is beautiful.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And it came about, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out through a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was caressing his wife Rebekah. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Behold, certainly she is your wife! How then did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” And Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die on account of her.’” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>So Abimelech charged all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.” <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Now Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>and the man became rich, and continued to grow richer until he became very wealthy; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>for he had possessions of flocks and herds and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with earth. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are too powerful for us.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>And Isaac departed from there and camped in the valley of Gerar, and settled there. <p><b><i>Quarrel over the Wells</i></b><p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the same names which his father had given them. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of flowing water, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it Sitnah. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>And he moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it Rehoboth, for he said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.” <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>Then he went up from there to Beersheba. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, <br> “I am the God of your father Abraham; <br> Do not fear, for I am with you. <br> I will bless you, and multiply your descendants, <br> For the sake of My servant Abraham.”<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>So he built an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants dug a well. <p><b><i>Covenant with Abimelech</i></b><p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with his adviser Ahuzzath, and Phicol the commander of his army. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>And Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And they said, “We see plainly that the LORD has been with you; so we said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, <i>even</i> between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD.’” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>Then he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>And in the morning they arose early and exchanged oaths; then Isaac sent them away and they departed from him in peace. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Now it came about on the same day, that Isaac’s servants came in and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>So he called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day. <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>And when Esau was forty years old he married Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/26-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>and they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.</div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
