So they stopped up all the wells the servants of his father Abraham had dug. They filled them with dirt.Then Abimelek said to Isaac,“ Move away from us. You have become too powerful for us.”So Isaac moved away from there. He camped in the Valley of Gerar, where he made his home.Isaac opened up the wells again. They had been dug in the time of his father Abraham. The Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham died. Isaac gave the wells the same names his father had given them.Isaac’s servants dug wells in the valley. There they discovered fresh water.But the people of Gerar who took care of their own herds argued with the people who took care of Isaac’s herds.“ The water is ours!” the people of Gerar said. So Isaac named the well Esek. That’s because they argued with him.Then Isaac’s servants dug another well. They argued about that one too. So he named it Sitnah.Isaac moved on from there and dug another well. But no one argued about that one. So he named it Rehoboth. He said,“ Now the Lord has given us room. Now we will be successful in the land.”

Then he gave water to their flock.

The people who took care of Abram’s herds and those who took care of Lot’s herds began to argue. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.

She replied,“ Do me a special favor. You have given me some land in the Negev Desert. Give me springs of water also.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.

If you take your neighbor to court, don’t tell others any secrets you promised to keep.

A person who understands what is right learns more from just a warning than a foolish person learns from 100 strokes with a whip.

“ If your brother or sister sins against you, go to them. Tell them what they did wrong. Keep it between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them back.

Being warned openly is better than being loved in secret.

“ We can’t,” they replied.“ We have to wait until all the flocks are brought together. The stone has to be rolled away from the opening of the well. Then we’ll give water to the sheep.”
