Genesis 26:32

Isaac

30 So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31 And they got up early the next morning and swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.

On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.

33 So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.

34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.
