26:26 Now Abimelech had come 1 to him from Gerar along with 2 Ahuzzah his friend 3 and Phicol the commander of his army. 26:27 Isaac asked them, “Why have you come to me? You hate me 4 and sent me away from you.” 26:28 They replied, “We could plainly see 5 that the Lord is with you. So we decided there should be 6 a pact between us 7 – between us 8 and you. Allow us to make 9 a treaty with you 26:29 so that 10 you will not do us any harm, just as we have not harmed 11 you, but have always treated you well 12 before sending you away 13 in peace. Now you are blessed by the Lord.” 14
26:30 So Isaac 15 held a feast for them and they celebrated. 16 26:31 Early in the morning the men made a treaty with each other. 17 Isaac sent them off; they separated on good terms. 18
26:32 That day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We’ve found water,” they reported. 19 26:33 So he named it Shibah; 20 that is why the name of the city has been Beer Sheba 21 to this day.
