9. And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a truth she is your wife: and how said you, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
10. And Abimelech said, What is this you have done unto us? one of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guiltiness upon us.
11. And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
13. And the man became great, and advanced, and grew until he became very great:
14. For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and a great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
15. For all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16. And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for you are much mightier than we.
17. And Isaac departed from there, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18. And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19. And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
