Genesis 26:13

11 So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

12 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.

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

15 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.
