01:026:009 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she
           is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister?  And Isaac
           said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.

01:026:010 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one
           of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou
           shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.

01:026:011 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth
           this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

01:026:012 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year
           an hundredfold:  and the lord blessed him.

01:026:013 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he
           became very great: 

01:026:014 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and
           great store of servants:  and the Philistines envied him.

01:026:015 For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in
           the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped
           them, and filled them with earth.

01:026:016 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much
           mightier than we.

01:026:017 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley
           of Gerar, and dwelt there.

01:026:018 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.

01:026:019 And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a
           well of springing water.

01:026:020 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdmen,
           saying, The water is ours:  and he called the name of the well
           Esek; because they strove with him.

01:026:021 And they digged another well, and strove for that also:  and he
           called the name of it Sitnah.

01:026:022 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for
           that they strove not:  and he called the name of it Rehoboth;
           and he said, For now the lord hath made room for us, and we
           shall be fruitful in the land.

01:026:023 And he went up from thence to Beersheba.

01:026:024 And the lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am
           the God of Abraham thy father:  fear not, for I am with thee,
           and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant
           Abraham’s sake.

01:026:025 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the
           lord, and pitched his tent there:  and there Isaac’s servants
           digged a well.
