26:26 Abimilik wants a commitment from Yitshak
26 Then King Abimelech came to Yitshak from Gerar along with his friend Ahuzzath and Phicol the commander of his army[ref] 27 and Yitshak asked them, “Why have you come here since you hate me and you forced me away from you?”
28 “We have clearly seen that Yahweh has been with you,” they answered, “so we said, ‘There should be an agreement between us’—between us and you. So let us make an agreement with you, 29 that you won’t do anything evil against us, just as we did not touch you, and just as we did only did good to you and sent you away in peace. Now you are blessed by Yahweh.” 30 Then Yitshak prepared a feast for them, and they all ate and drank together. 31 The visitors got up early the next morning and make promises to each other. Then Yitshak sent them on their way, and they left from there in peace.
32 That very day, Yitshak’s slaves came and updated him about the well that they had just been digging and told him, “We’ve found water.” 33 So Yitshak named the well ‘Shibah’ (which sounds like the Hebrew word meaning ‘promise’), so that’s why that city is named ‘Beersheba’ (meaning ‘well of the promise’) to this day.
