Prosperity and Philistine Envy

Genesis 26:12-17

Afterwarde Izhak sowed in that lande, and founde in the same yeere an hundreth folde by estimation: and so the Lord blessed him.

And the man waxed mightie, and stil increased, till he was exceeding great,

For he had flockes of sheepe, and heards of cattell, and a mightie housholde: therefore the Philistims had enuy at him.

In so much that the Philistims stopped and filled vp with earth all the welles, which his fathers seruantes digged in his father Abrahams time.

Then Abimelech sayde vnto Izhak, Get thee from vs, for thou art mightier then wee a great deale.

Therefore Izhak departed thence and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
