19 Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found a spring-fed well.

20 The herders from Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herders, claiming, |This water is ours!| So Isaac named the well Esek [Argument], because they had argued with him.

21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one too. So Isaac named it Sitnah [Accusation].

22 He moved on from there and dug another well. They didn't quarrel over this one. So he named it Rehoboth [Roomy] and said, |Now the LORD has made room for us, and we will prosper in this land.|
