Genesis 21:31-33
EasyEnglish Bible

31 Because of that, the name of the place became ‘Beersheba’, because the two men made a promise there.[a]

32 In that way, they made a promise at Beersheba to help one another. Then Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, returned to the land of the Philistines.

33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba.[b] In that place, he worshipped the Lord who is God for ever.
