Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which ^(F1)had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he ^(F2)gave them the same names which his father had ^(F3)given them.

But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of ^(F1)flowing water,

the herdsmen of Gerar ^(C1)quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, "The water is ours!" So he named the well ^(F1)Esek, because they argued with him.

Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it ^(F1)Sitnah.

Then he moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it ^(F1)Rehoboth, for he said, "^(F2)(C1)At last the LORD has made ^(F3)room for us, and we will be ^(C2)fruitful in the land."
