What happensPermalink
God confirms to Isaac His covenant with Abraham. Isaac encounters Abimelech in Gerar and becomes fabulously wealthy. They make a treaty with him and send him away.
Why it mattersPermalink
Isaac’s sojourn to Gerar is almost identical to Abraham’s in Genesis 20, down to the name of the king and passing off his attractive wife as his sister. Isaac’s wealth is a fulfillment of God’s promise.
Key versePermalink
So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac’s servants dug a well.
