21 Then Isaac's servants dug another well. They argued about that one too. So he named it Sitnah.
22 He moved on from there and dug another well. But no one argued about that one. So he named it Rehoboth. He said, "Now the LORD has given us room. Now we will do well in the land."
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba.
24 That night the LORD appeared to him. He said, "I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid. I am with you. I will bless you. I will increase the number of your children because of my servant Abraham."
25 Isaac built an altar there and worshiped the Lord. There he set up his tent. And there his servants dug a well.
