From there Isaac went up to Beer Sheba.

Their assigned land included Beer Sheba, Moladah,

You are a garden spring, a well of fresh water flowing down from Lebanon.

That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. (It is located between Kadesh and Bered.)

But Abraham lodged a complaint against Abimelech concerning a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized.

That is why he named that place Beer Sheba, because the two of them swore an oath there.

He made the camels kneel down by the well outside the city. It was evening, the time when the women would go out to draw water.

Now Isaac came from Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the Negev.

When Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well with fresh flowing water there,

His servants dug another well, but they quarreled over it too, so Isaac named it Sitnah.

So he named it Shibah; that is why the name of the city has been Beer Sheba to this day.

Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well, sing to it!

The well which the princes dug, which the leaders of the people opened with their scepters and their staffs.” And from the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;

So it was in the Transjordan, in Moab, that Moses began to deliver these words:

You must inscribe on the stones all the words of this law, making them clear.”

All Israel from Dan to Beer Sheba realized that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the Lord.

Then God enabled Hagar to see a well of water. She went over and filled the skin with water, and then gave the boy a drink.

Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set out together for Beer Sheba where Abraham stayed.

After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac. Isaac lived near Beer Lahai Roi.

Then Isaac built an altar there and worshiped the Lord. He pitched his tent there, and his servants dug a well.
