So the Philistines filled up all of Isaac’s wells with dirt. These were the wells that had been dug by the servants of his father, Abraham.Finally, Abimelech ordered Isaac to leave the country.“ Go somewhere else,” he said,“ for you have become too powerful for us.”So Isaac moved away to the Gerar Valley, where he set up their tents and settled down.He reopened the wells his father had dug, which the Philistines had filled in after Abraham’s death. Isaac also restored the names Abraham had given them.Isaac’s servants also dug in the Gerar Valley and discovered a well of fresh water.But then the shepherds from Gerar came and claimed the spring.“ This is our water,” they said, and they argued over it with Isaac’s herdsmen. So Isaac named the well Esek( which means“ argument”).Isaac’s men then dug another well, but again there was a dispute over it. So Isaac named it Sitnah( which means“ hostility”).Abandoning that one, Isaac moved on and dug another well. This time there was no dispute over it, so Isaac named the place Rehoboth( which means“ open space”), for he said,“ At last the Lord has created enough space for us to prosper in this land.”

When arguing with your neighbor, don’t betray another person’s secret.

A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool.

“ If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.

An open rebuke is better than hidden love!

“ We can’t water the animals until all the flocks have arrived,” they replied.“ Then the shepherds move the stone from the mouth of the well, and we water all the sheep and goats.”
