28 |We've seen that the LORD is with you,| they responded, |so we're proposing an agreement between us—between us and you. Allow us to make a treaty with you

29 by which you'll agree not to do us any harm, just as we haven't harmed you, since we've done nothing but good for you after we sent you away in peace. As a result, you've been tremendously blessed by the LORD.|

30 So Isaac held a festival for them, and they ate and drank.

31 They woke up early the next morning and made the treaty. After this, Isaac sent them off and they left on peaceful terms.

32 That very same day, Isaac's servants arrived and reported to him about a well that they had just completed digging. |We've found water!| they said.

33 So Isaac named the well Shebah, which is why the city is named Beer-sheba to this day.
