Genesis 26:18-20
Contemporary English Version
18 where he cleaned out those wells that the Philistines had stopped up. Isaac also gave each of the wells the same name[a] that Abraham had given to them. 19 While his servants were digging in the valley, they found a spring-fed well. 20 But the shepherds of Gerar Valley quarreled with Isaac's shepherds and claimed the water belonged to them. So this well was named “Quarrel,” because they had quarreled with Isaac.
