Then they turned back and went to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who were living in Hazezon Tamar.
-
That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
-
Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.” “Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.”
-
He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of.
-
Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
-
Then Abraham complained to Abimelek about a well of water that Abimelek’s servants had seized.
-
He replied, “Accept these seven lambs from my hand as a witness that I dug this well.”
-
He had the camels kneel down near the well outside the town; it was toward evening, the time the women go out to draw water.
-
So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels.
-
And she added, “We have plenty of straw and fodder, as well as room for you to spend the night.”
-
Then Abimelek said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the men might well have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”

Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.
-
Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there.
-
But the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they disputed with him.
-
Then they dug another well, but they quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
-
He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, “Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.”
-
Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the Lord. There he pitched his tent, and there his servants dug a well.
-
that you will do us no harm, just as we did not harm you but always treated you well and sent you away peacefully. And now you are blessed by the Lord.”
-
That day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. They said, “We’ve found water!”
-
There he saw a well in the open country, with three flocks of sheep lying near it because the flocks were watered from that well. The stone over the mouth of the well was large.
-
When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone away from the well’s mouth and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.
