Gen 26:15 For the Philistines stopped and fylled vp with earth all the welles which his seruauntes had digged in his father Abrahams tyme.
Gen 26:16 And Abimelech sayde vnto Isahac: Get thee from vs, for thou art mightier then we a great deale.
Gen 26:17 Therefore Isahac departed thence, and abode in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Gen 26:18 And Isahac returning, digged againe the welles of water which they digged in the dayes of Abraham his father, which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham, & named them after the same names by the which his father had named them.

Gen 26:21 And they digged another well, and stroue for that also: and he called the name of it enmitie.
Gen 26:22 And then he departed thence, & digged another well, for the which they stroue not. Therfore called he it roomth, saying: the Lorde hath made vs nowe roome that we may encrease vpon the earth.
Gen 26:23 And he went vp thence to Beer-seba.
Gen 26:24 And the Lorde appeared vnto hym the same night, and sayde: I am the God of Abraham thy father, feare not, for I am with thee, and wyl blesse thee and multiple thy seede for my seruaunt Abrahams sake.

Gen 26:27 And Isahac sayde vnto them: wherfore come ye to me, seyng ye hate me, and haue put me away from you?
Gen 26:28 Whiche aunswered: We sawe most certainly that the Lord was with thee, and we sayde: let there be nowe an oth betwixt vs, euen betwixt vs and thee, and let vs make a league with thee:
Gen 26:29 That thou shouldest do vs no hurt, as we haue not touched thee, and as we haue done vnto thee nothyng but good, & sent thee away in peace: for thou art nowe the blessed of the Lorde.
