From there Isaac went up to Beer Sheba.

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 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.

Early in the morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He put them on her shoulders, gave her the child, and sent her away. So she went wandering aimlessly through the wilderness of Beer Sheba.

Then he moved away from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over it, so Isaac named it Rehoboth, saying, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”

He saw in the field a well with three flocks of sheep lying beside it, because the flocks were watered from that well. Now a large stone covered the mouth of the well.
