22
And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest:
23
Now therefore swear to me here by God, that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: [but] according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou hast sojourned.
24
And Abraham said, I will swear.
25
And Abraham reproved Abimelech, because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
26
And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet have I heard [of it], but to-day.
27
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a covenant.
28
And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, which thou hast set by themselves?
30
And he said, For [these] seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take from my hand, that they may be a witness to me, that I have digged this well.
31
Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba: because there they swore both of them.
32
Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: Then Abimelech arose, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
