Title The life of Isaac (Gen. 26:1)
Description Isaac went to the land of Gerar because of a famine, but he was afraid of people and deceived his wife as a sister, but was discovered and rebuked by Abimelech king of the Philistines.
However, with God's blessing, they harvested 100 times more that year, and finally they were rejected, and the number of sheep, cattle, and slaves increased to the point of jealousy.
Out of jealousy and jealousy, the Philistines blocked Isaac's well and filled it with dust, etc., but Isaac was meek and humble and went non-resistance in any case. God is the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid. , and for the sake of my servant Abraham, I am with you and I will bless you and multiply your descendants. Isaac's peaceful non-resistance was pleasing to God and touched people's hearts, eventually leading to a request for reconciliation. When they offered Isaac to confirm that God was with him and make a covenant with him, Isaac also thought it was good and gave him a feast and responded. So the name of the city is called Beersheba to this day, which means well of the oath.
