21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one too. So Isaac named it Sitnah [Accusation].

23 He went from there to Beersheba.
24 That night the LORD appeared to Isaac, and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham. Don't be afraid, because I am with you. I will bless you and increase the number of your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."
25 So Isaac built an altar there and worshiped the LORD. He also pitched his tent in that place, and his servants dug a well there.
