31 This is why the place is called Beer-sheba; the two of them took an oath there.

32 When they had thus made the covenant in Beer-sheba, Abimelech, along with Phicol, the commander of his army, left to return to the land of the Philistines.

33 Abraham planted a tamarisk at Beer-sheba, and there he invoked by name the LORD, God the Eternal.

34 Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
