blocking the wells he dug. But the more they blocked the
wells, the more the blessing was working for him until they
realized they could no longer contend with the blessing.
How could they? Unknown to them, their opposition all the
while was working in Isaac’s favor.
14For he had possessions of flocks and possessions
of herds and a great number of servants. So the
Philistines envied him. 15Now the Philistines had
stopped up all the wells which his father’s servants
had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and they
had filled them with earth. 16And Abimelech said to
Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much
mightier than we.” 17Then Isaac departed from
there and pitched his tent in the Valley of Gerar,
and dwelt there. 18And Isaac dug again the wells of
water which they had dug in the days of Abraham
his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up
after the death of Abraham. He called them by the
names which his father had called them. 19Also
Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found a well
of running water there. 20But the herdsmen of
Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying,
“The water is ours.” So he called the name of the
well Esek, because they quarreled with him. 21Then
they dug another well, and they quarreled over that
one also. So he called its name Sitnah.
