Genesis 26:26-31 (New Living Translation)
26
One day Isaac had visitors from Gerar. King Abimelech arrived with his adviser, Ahuzzath, and also Phicol, his army commander.
27
"Why have you come?" Isaac asked them. "This is obviously no friendly visit, since you sent me from your land in a most unfriendly way."
28
They replied, "We can plainly see that the LORD is with you. So we decided we should have a treaty, a covenant between us.
29
Swear that you will not harm us, just as we did not harm you. We have always treated you well, and we sent you away from us in peace. And now look how the LORD has blessed you!"
30
So Isaac prepared a great feast for them, and they ate and drank in preparation for the treaty ceremony.
31
Early the next morning, they each took a solemn oath of nonaggression. Then Isaac sent them home again in peace.
