28 They replied, |We could plainly see that the LORD is with you. So we decided there should be a pact between us--between us and you. Allow us to make a treaty with you 29 so that you will not do us any harm, just as we have not harmed you, but have always treated you well before sending you away in peace. Now you are blessed by the LORD.| 30 So Isaac held a feast for them and they celebrated. 31 Early in the morning the men made a treaty with each other. Isaac sent them off; they separated on good terms. 32 That day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well they had dug. |We've found water,| they reported. 33 So he named it Shibah; that is why the name of the city has been Beer Sheba to this day.
