24 And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, “I
am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your
descendants for My servant Abraham’s sake.”
25 So he built an altar there and called on the name of the
Lord, and he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.
26 Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath, one
of his friends, and Phichol the commander of his army.
27 And Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since
you hate me and have sent me away from you?“
28 But they said, “We have certainly seen that the Lord is
with you. So we said, ‘Let there now be
an oath between us, between you and us; and et us make a covenant with you,
29 ‘That you will do us no harm, since we have not touched
you, and since we have done nothing to you but good and have sent you away in
peace. You are now the blessed for the
Lord.’”
30 So he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31 Then they arose early in the morning and swore an oath
with one another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in
peace.
32 It came to pass the same day that Isaac’s servants came
and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found
water.”
33 So he called it Shebah.
Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as wives Judith
the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the
Hittite.
35 And they were a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah.
