23. And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.
24. And Jehovah appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father. Fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
25. And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac’s servants digged a well.
26. Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host.
27. And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore are ye come unto me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
28. And they said, We saw plainly that Jehovah was with thee. And we said, Let there now be an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,
29. that thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace. Thou art now the blessed of Jehovah.
30. And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
