Genesis 26:23 In-Context

21 Then his servants dug another well. When the people also argued about it, Isaac named that well Fight.
22 He moved from there and dug another well. No one argued about this one, so he named it Room Enough. Isaac said, "Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will be successful in this land."
23 From there Isaac went to Beersheba.
24 The Lord appeared to him that night and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham. Don't be afraid, because I am with you. I will bless you and give you many descendants because of my servant Abraham."
25 So Isaac built an altar and worshiped the Lord there. He also made a camp there, and his servants dug a well.
