Prosperity and Philistine Envy
Genesis 26:12-17
12
Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. The LORD blessed him.
13
The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
14
He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
15
Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
16
Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
17
Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
