New American Standard Bible

Covenant with Abimelech

²⁶ Then ^(A)Abimelech came to him from Gerar ^[a]with his adviser Ahuzzath, and Phicol the commander of his army. ²⁷ Isaac said to them, “^(B)Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?” ²⁸ They said, “We have seen plainly ^(C)that the Lord has been with you; so we said, ‘An oath must now be taken ^[b]by us,’ that is, ^[c]by you and us. So let us make a covenant with you, ²⁹ that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you ^[d]and have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace. You are now the ^(D)blessed of the Lord.” ³⁰ Then ^(E)he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. ³¹ In the morning they got up early and ^[e](F)exchanged oaths; then Isaac sent them away, and they left him in peace.
