Genesis 21:22-32

[22] And it came to pass at that time,  that Abimelech  and Phichol  the chief captain  of his host  spake  unto Abraham,  saying,  God  is with thee in all that thou doest:  [23] Now therefore swear  unto me here  by God  that thou wilt not deal falsely  with me, nor with my son,  nor with my son's son:  but according to the kindness  that I have done  unto me, and to the land  wherein thou hast sojourned.  [24] And Abraham  said,  I will swear.  [25] And Abraham  reproved  Abimelech  because  of a well  of water,  which Abimelech's  servants  had violently taken away.  [26] And Abimelech  said,  I wot  not who hath done  this thing:  neither  didst thou tell  me, neither  yet heard  I of it, but  to day.  [27] And Abraham  took  sheep  and oxen,  and gave  them unto Abimelech;  and both of them  made  a covenant.  [28] And Abraham  set  seven  ewe lambs  of the flock  [29] And Abimelech  said  unto Abraham,  mean these seven  ewe lambs  which thou hast set  [30] And he said,  For these seven  ewe lambs  shalt thou take  of my hand,  that  they may be a witness  unto me, that I have digged  this well.  [31] Wherefore he called  that place  Beersheba;  because there they sware  both of them.  [32] Thus they made  a covenant  at Beersheba:  then Abimelech  rose up,  and Phichol  the chief captain  of his host,  and they returned  into the land  of the Philistines.
