KJV_Strong : Genesis 26
1. And there was[H1961] a famine[H7458] in the land,[H776] beside[H4480] [H905] the first[H7223] famine[H7458] that[H834] was[H1961] in the days[H3117] of Abraham.[H85] And Isaac[H3327] went[H1980] unto[H413] Abimelech[H40] king[H4428] of the Philistines[H6430] unto Gerar.[H1642]
2. And the LORD[H3068] appeared[H7200] unto[H413] him, and said,[H559] Go not down[H3381] [H408] into Egypt;[H4714] dwell[H7931] in the land[H776] which[H834] I shall tell[H559] thee of: [H413]
3. Sojourn[H1481] in this[H2063] land,[H776] and I will be[H1961] with[H5973] thee, and will bless[H1288] thee; for[H3588] unto thee, and unto thy seed,[H2233] I will give[H5414] [H853] all[H3605] these[H411] countries,[H776] and I will perform[H6965] [H853] the oath[H7621] which[H834] I swore[H7650] unto Abraham[H85] thy father;[H1]
4. And I will make[H853] thy seed[H2233] to multiply[H7235] as the stars[H3556] of heaven,[H8064] and will give[H5414] unto thy seed[H2233] [H853] all[H3605] these[H411] countries;[H776] and in thy seed[H2233] shall all[H3605] the nations[H1471] of the earth[H776] be blessed;[H1288]
5. Because[H6118] that[H834] Abraham[H85] obeyed[H8085] my voice,[H6963] and kept[H8104] my charge,[H4931] my commandments,[H4687] my statutes,[H2708] and my laws.[H8451]
6. And Isaac[H3327] dwelt[H3427] in Gerar: [H1642]
7. And the men[H376] of the place[H4725] asked[H7592] him of his wife;[H802] and he said,[H559] She[H1931] is my sister:[H269] for[H3588] he feared[H3372] to say,[H559] She is my wife;[H802] lest,[H6435] said he, the men[H376] of the place[H4725] should kill[H2026] me for[H5921] Rebekah;[H7259] because[H3588] she[H1931] was fair[H2896] to look upon.[H4758]
8. And it came to pass,[H1961] when[H3588] he had been there[H8033] a long[H748] time,[H3117] that Abimelech[H40] king[H4428] of the Philistines[H6430] looked out[H8259] at[H1157] a window,[H2474] and saw,[H7200] and, behold,[H2009] Isaac[H3327] was sporting[H6711] with[H853] Rebekah[H7259] his wife.[H802]
9. And Abimelech[H40] called[H7121] Isaac,[H3327] and said,[H559] Behold,[H2009] of a surety[H389] she[H1931] is thy wife:[H802] and how[H349] saidst[H559] thou, She[H1931] is my sister?[H269] And Isaac[H3327] said[H559] unto[H413] him, Because[H3588] I said,[H559] Lest[H6435] I die[H4191] for[H5921] her.
10. And Abimelech[H40] said,[H559] What[H4100] is this[H2063] thou hast done[H6213] unto us? one[H259] of the people[H5971] might lightly[H4592] have lain[H7901] with[H854] thy wife,[H802] and thou shouldest have brought[H935] guiltiness[H817] upon[H5921] us.
11. And Abimelech[H40] charged[H6680] [H853] all[H3605] his people,[H5971] saying,[H559] He that toucheth[H5060] this[H2088] man[H376] or his wife[H802] shall surely be put to death.[H4191] [H4191]
12. Then Isaac[H3327] sowed[H2232] in that[H1931] land,[H776] and received[H4672] in the same[H1931] year[H8141] a hundredfold:[H3967] [H8180] and the LORD[H3068] blessed[H1288] him.
13. And the man[H376] waxed great,[H1431] and went[H1980] forward,[H1980] and grew[H1432] until[H5704] [H3588] he became very great:[H1431] [H3966]
14. For he had[H1961] possession[H4735] of flocks,[H6629] and possession[H4735] of herds,[H1241] and great store[H7227] of servants:[H5657] and the Philistines[H6430] envied[H7065] him.
15. For all[H3605] the wells[H875] which[H834] his father's[H1] servants[H5650] had digged[H2658] in the days[H3117] of Abraham[H85] his father,[H1] the Philistines[H6430] had stopped[H5640] them, and filled[H4390] them with earth.[H6083]
16. And Abimelech[H40] said[H559] unto[H413] Isaac,[H3327] Go[H1980] from[H4480] [H5973] us; for[H3588] thou art much mightier[H6105] [H3966] than[H4480] we.
17. And Isaac[H3327] departed[H1980] thence,[H4480] [H8033] and pitched his tent[H2583] in the valley[H5158] of Gerar,[H1642] and dwelt[H3427] there.[H8033]
18. And Isaac[H3327] digged[H2658] again[H7725] [H853] the wells[H875] of water,[H4325] which[H834] they had digged[H2658] in the days[H3117] of Abraham[H85] his father;[H1] for the Philistines[H6430] had stopped[H5640] them after[H310] the death[H4194] of Abraham:[H85] and he called[H7121] their names[H8034] after the names[H8034] by which[H834] his father[H1] had called[H7121] them.
19. And Isaac's[H3327] servants[H5650] digged[H2658] in the valley,[H5158] and found[H4672] there[H8033] a well[H875] of springing[H2416] water.[H4325]
20. And the herdsmen[H7462] of Gerar[H1642] did strive[H7378] with[H5973] Isaac's[H3327] herdsmen,[H7462] saying,[H559] The water[H4325] is ours: and he called[H7121] the name[H8034] of the well[H875] Esek;[H6230] because[H3588] they strove[H6229] with[H5973] him.
21. And they digged[H2658] another[H312] well,[H875] and strove[H7378] for[H5921] that also:[H1571] and he called[H7121] the name[H8034] of it Sitnah.[H7856]
22. And he removed[H6275] from thence,[H4480] [H8033] and digged[H2658] another[H312] well;[H875] and for[H5921] that they strove[H7378] not:[H3808] and he called[H7121] the name[H8034] of it Rehoboth;[H7344] and he said,[H559] For[H3588] now[H6258] the LORD[H3068] hath made room[H7337] for us, and we shall be fruitful[H6509] in the land.[H776]
23. And he went up[H5927] from thence[H4480] [H8033] to Beer-sheba.[H884]
24. And the LORD[H3068] appeared[H7200] unto[H413] him the same[H1931] night,[H3915] and said,[H559] I[H595] am the God[H430] of Abraham[H85] thy father:[H1] fear[H3372] not,[H408] for[H3588] I[H595] am with[H854] thee, and will bless[H1288] thee, and multiply[H7235] [H853] thy seed[H2233] for[H5668] my servant[H5650] Abraham's[H85] sake.
25. And he built[H1129] an altar[H4196] there,[H8033] and called[H7121] upon the name[H8034] of the LORD,[H3068] and pitched[H5186] his tent[H168] there:[H8033] and there[H8033] Isaac's[H3327] servants[H5650] digged[H3738] a well.[H875]
26. Then Abimelech[H40] went[H1980] to[H413] him from Gerar,[H4480] [H1642] and Ahuzzath[H276] one of his friends,[H4828] and Phichol[H6369] the chief captain[H8269] of his army.[H6635]
27. And Isaac[H3327] said[H559] unto[H413] them, Wherefore[H4069] come[H935] ye to[H413] me, seeing ye[H859] hate[H8130] me, and have sent me away[H7971] from[H4480] you?
28. And they said,[H559] We saw certainly[H7200] [H7200] that[H3588] the LORD[H3068] was[H1961] with[H5973] thee: and we said,[H559] Let there be[H1961] now[H4994] an oath[H423] between[H996] us, even between[H996] us and thee, and let us make[H3772] a covenant[H1285] with[H5973] thee;
29. That[H518] thou wilt do[H6213] us no hurt,[H7451] as[H834] we have not[H3808] touched[H5060] thee, and as[H834] we have done[H6213] unto[H5973] thee nothing but[H7535] good,[H2896] and have sent thee away[H7971] in peace:[H7965] thou[H859] art now[H6258] the blessed[H1288] of the LORD.[H3068]
30. And he made[H6213] them a feast,[H4960] and they did eat[H398] and drink.[H8354]
31. And they rose up quickly[H7925] in the morning,[H1242] and swore[H7650] one[H376] to another:[H251] and Isaac[H3327] sent them away,[H7971] and they departed[H1980] from[H4480] [H854] him in peace.[H7965]
32. And it came to pass[H1961] the same[H1931] day,[H3117] that Isaac's[H3327] servants[H5650] came,[H935] and told[H5046] him concerning[H5921] [H182] the well[H875] which[H834] they had digged,[H2658] and said[H559] unto him, We have found[H4672] water.[H4325]
33. And he called[H7121] it Shebah:[H7656] therefore[H5921] [H3651] the name[H8034] of the city[H5892] is Beer-sheba[H884] unto[H5704] this[H2088] day.[H3117]
34. And Esau[H6215] was[H1961] forty[H705] years[H8141] old[H1121] when he took[H3947] to wife[H802] [H853] Judith[H3067] the daughter[H1323] of Beeri[H882] the Hittite,[H2850] and Bashemath[H1315] the daughter[H1323] of Elon[H356] the Hittite: [H2850]
35. Which were[H1961] a grief[H4786] of mind[H7307] unto Isaac[H3327] and to Rebekah.[H7259]
