Isaac Settles in Gerar

26 Now there was ^(A)a famine in the land, besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to ^(B)Abimelech king of the Philistines.

⁸ Now it came about, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down through a window, and saw them, and behold, Isaac was caressing his wife Rebekah.

¹⁴ for ^(A)he had possessions of flocks ^[a]and herds, and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him. ¹⁵ Now ^(B)all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up ^[b]by filling them with dirt.

Argument over the Wells

¹⁸ Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which ^[a]had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he ^[b]gave them the same names which his father had ^[c]given them.
