New International Version

Genesis 26:11-18 New International Version (NIV)

11. So Abimelek gave orders to all the people: “Anyone who harms this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”

12. Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him.

13. The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.

14. He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

15. So all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up, filling them with earth.

16. Then Abimelek said to Isaac, “Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us.”

17. So Isaac moved away from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar, where he settled.

18. 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.
