Prosperity and Philistine Envy

Genesis 26:12-17

Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.

He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

So the Philistines took dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.

Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
