Genesis

Genesis 26:22–25

²²He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth^d and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”

²³From there Isaac went up to Beersheba, ²⁴and that night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”

²⁵So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there. His servants also dug a well there.
