Genesis 26:26-33

Isaac’s Oath with Abimelech

26 Now ^aAbimelech came to him from Gerar ¹with his adviser Ahuzzath and Phicol the commander of his army. 27 And Isaac said to them, “^aWhy have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?” 28 Then they said, “We see plainly ^athat Yahweh has been with you; so we said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us—between ¹you and us—and let us cut a covenant with you, 29 that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you ¹and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the ^ablessed of Yahweh.’” 30 Then ^ahe made them a feast, and they ate and drank. 31 In the morning they arose early, and ^aeach swore to ¹the other; then Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. 32 Now it happened on that day, that Isaac’s servants came in and told him about the well which they had dug and said to him, “We have found water.” 33 So he called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is ^aBeersheba to this day.
