9. And Abimelech called Isaac and said, See here, she is certainly your wife! How did you [dare] say to me, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I thought, Lest I die on account of her.
10. And Abimelech said, What is this you have done to us? One of the men might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt and sin upon us.
11. Then Abimelech charged all his people, He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12. Then Isaac sowed seed in that land and received in the same year a hundred times as much as he had planted, and the Lord favored him with blessings.
13. And the man became great and gained more and more until he became very wealthy and distinguished;
14. He owned flocks, herds, and a great supply of servants, and the Philistines envied him.
15. Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had closed and filled with earth.
16. And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we are.
17. So Isaac went away from there and pitched his tent in the Valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18. And Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the names by which his father had called them.
19. Now Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of living [spring] water.
20. And the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, The water is ours. And he named the well Esek [contention] because they quarreled with him.
