A Covenant Meal

26Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol the commander of his army.

27Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hated me and sent me away from among you?”

28And they said, “We have clearly seen that Yahweh has been with you. So we said, ‘Please let there be an oath between us, between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you.’”

29that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and just as we have done to you only good and sent you away in peace. You are now blessed by Yahweh.”

30And he prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31And they rose early in the morning and swore an oath, each man to his brother; then Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

32And it happened on that day that Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well that they had dug, and they said to him, “We have found water.”

33And he called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
