Genesis 26:23 In-Context

21 Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
22 He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, β€œAt last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,
24 and that night the LORD appeared to him and said, β€œI am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”
25 So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there. His servants also dug a well there.
