Context
21:23 Now swear to me right here in God’s name that you will not deceive me, my children , or my descendants . Show me , and the land where you are staying , the same loyalty that I have shown you.”
21:24 Abraham said , “I swear to do this.”
21:25 But Abraham lodged a complaint against Abimelech concerning a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized .
21:26 “I do not know who has done this thing ,” Abimelech replied . “Moreover , you did not tell me. I did not hear about it until today .”
21:27 Abraham took some sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech . The two of them made a treaty .
21:28 Then Abraham set seven ewe lambs apart from the flock by themselves .
21:29 Abimelech asked Abraham , “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart ?”
21:30 He replied , “You must take these seven ewe lambs from my hand as legal proof that I dug this well .”
21:31 That is why he named that place Beer Sheba , because the two of them swore an oath there .
21:32 So they made a treaty at Beer Sheba . Then Abimelech and Phicol , the commander of his army , returned to the land of the Philistines .
21:33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer Sheba . There he worshiped the Lord , the eternal God .
21:34 So Abraham stayed in the land of the Philistines for quite some time .
