16And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are.
17So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there.
18And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.
19Now Isaac's servants made holes in the valley, and came to a spring of flowing water.
20But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac's herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it.
21Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah.
22Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.
