Genesis 26:20-22
Easy-to-Read Version
20 But the men who herded sheep in the Valley of Gerar argued with Isaac’s servants. They said, “This water is ours.” So Isaac named that well Esek.[a] He gave it that name because it was the place where they had argued with him.
21 Then Isaac’s servants dug another well. But there was an argument over this well too. So Isaac named that well Sitnah.[b]
22 Isaac moved from there and dug another well. No one came to argue about this well. So Isaac named it Rehoboth.[c] He said, “Now the Lord has found a place for us. We will grow and be successful in this place.”
