U-Isaka watshala imbewu kulelo lizwe, kwathi ngawo lowo nyaka wavuna isivuno esikhulu kakhulu. USimakade wambusisa, waceba kakhulu, waba nempumelelo enkulu, waceba wabedlula bonke. Waba nemfuyo, nemihlambi, nomndeni omkhulu kwaze kwavuka umona ngaye kumaFilisti. AmaFilisti ayesesuka eyigqiba ngomhlabathi yonke imithombo izinceku zikayise ezaziyimbe emihleni ka-Abhrahama. U-Abhimeleki wathi ku-Isaka: “Hamba, usuke phakathi kwethu, usunamandla amakhulu kunathi.” U-Isaka wasuka lapho, wagoba amadlangala esigodini eGerari, wahlala lapho. U-Isaka wabuye wayimba imithombo eyayikade imbiwe emihleni ka-Abhrahama, wayibiza ngamagama ayeyiqambe wona uyise, ngokuba amaFilisti ayekade eyivalile emva kokufa kuka-Abhrahama. Kwathi lapho izinceku zika-Isaka zimba esigodini zathola umthombo ogelezayo. Kwaqubuka umbango phakathi kwabelusi baseGerari nabaka-Isaka, abaseGerari bethi: “Lawa manzi ngawethu.” Wawuqamba lowo mthombo wathi yi-Eseki okunguthi kusembangweni, ngoba bambangisa. Base bemba omunye umthombo, babuye bababangisa nakulowo, wayesewuqamba ethi yiSithina. Wasuka wayokumba omunye umthombo; kulowo abambangisanga, ngakho-ke wawuqamba ngokuthi yiRehobhothi, ngokuba wathi: “Manje uSimakade usesinike indawo ebanzi, wasenza sanda ezweni.” Wasuka lapho wakhuphukela eBheri Sheba. Ngalobo busuku, uSimakade wabonakala kuye wathi: “NginguNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama uyihlo. Ungesabi, ngokuba nginawe, ngizakukubusisa, ngenze isizukulwane sakho sibe siningi kakhulu ngenxa ka-Abhrahama inceku yami.” U-Isaka wayesakha i-althare lapho, wakhuleka egameni leNkosi, wagxumeka ithende lakhe, izinceku zakhe zamba umthombo lapho. Kwase kufika u-Abhimeleki evela eGerari, ehamba no-Ahuzathi umeluleki wakhe, noPhikholo, umkhuzi wamabutho empi yakhe. U-Isaka wathi kubo: “Nizofunani lapha kimi, ngoba nina niyangizonda, naze nangidingisa na?” Bathi: “Kuyasikhanyela ukuthi uSimakade unawe. Yikho sithi: ‘Masenze isifungo phakathi kwethu nawe, kube khona isivumelwano phakathi kwethu,’ ukuze ungasenzakalisi njengoba nathi singazange sikwenzakalise, kodwa sakuphatha kahle, saze sakumukisa phakathi kwethu ngokuthula. Kusobala ukuthi wena ungobusisiweyo weNkosi.” Wabalungisela indumezulu yedili, badla, baphuza. Bavuka entathakusa ngakusasa bafungisana. U-Isaka wabaphelekezela behlukana ngokuthula. Ngalolo lusuku kwafika izinceku zika-Isaka, zambikela ngomthombo ezaziwumbile, zathi: “Sithole amanzi.” Kusukela lapho lowo mthombo wabizwa ngokuthi iShiba. Yikho nje igama lomuzi oseduze nawo ubizwa ngokuthi yiBheri Sheba kuze kube namuhla. U-Esawu wakhula waze wahlanganisa iminyaka engama-40. Wayeseganwa nguJudithi, indodakazi kaBheri, umHithi, noBhasematha indodakazi ka-Eloni, umHithi. Labo malokazana baletha olukhulu usizi emphefumulweni ka-Isaka noRibheka.

Wayenemfuyo yezimvu, nemfuyo yezinkomo, nezinceku eziningi; amaFilisti ayenomhawu ngaye. Yonke imithombo ezaziyimbile izinceku zikayise ezinsukwini zika-Abrahama uyise, amaFilisti ayeyivalile, ayigcwalisa ngomhlabathi. U-Abimeleki wathi ku-Isaka: “Suka kithina, ngokuba unamandla kakhulu kunathi.” U-Isaka wayesesuka khona, wakha esigodini saseGerari, wahlala lapho. U-Isaka wabuye wemba imithombo yamanzi ababeyimbile ezinsukwini zika-Abrahama uyise, ngokuba amaFilisti ayeyivalile emva kokufa kuka-Abrahama; wayibiza ngamagama ayiqamba ngawo uyise. Izinceku zika-Isaka zemba esigodini, zafumana umthombo wamanzi aphethuzayo. Abelusi baseGerari baphikisana nabelusi baka-Isaka, bathi: “Amanzi angawethu.” Wabiza igama lomthombo ngokuthi i-Eseke,* ngokuba baphikisana naye. Bemba omunye umthombo, baphikisana nangawo. Waqamba igama lawo ngokuthi iSitina.* Wasuka lapho, wemba omunye umthombo; abaphikisananga ngawo; wabiza igama lawo ngokuthi iRehoboti,* wathi: “Ngokuba uJehova usenzele indawo; siyakwanda ezweni.” Wasuka lapho, wakhuphuka waya eBeri Sheba. UJehova wabonakala kuye ngabona lobo busuku, wathi: “NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo u-Abrahama; ungesabi, ngokuba nginawe; ngizakukubusisa, ngiyandise inzalo yakho ngenxa yenceku yami u-Abrahama.” Wakha khona i-altare, wakhuleka egameni likaJehova, wamisa lapho itende lakhe; izinceku zika-Isaka zemba umthombo khona. U-Abimeleki wayeseya kuye evela eGerari, eno-Ahuzati umngane wakhe noPikoli induna yempi yakhe. U-Isaka wathi kubo: “Nizeleni kimi, lokhu niyangizonda, ningixoshile kini, na?” Bathi: “Sesibone nokubona ukuthi uJehova unawe. Sathi: ‘Akube khona manje phakathi kwethu isifungo,’ phakathi kwethu nawe, senze isivumelwano nawe sokuthi awuyikusenzela okubi, njengokuba singakuthintanga, sikwenzele okuhle kodwa, sakumukisa ngokuthula; wena usubusiswe nguJehova.” Wabenzela idili, badla, baphuza. Bavuka ekuseni, bafungisana omunye nomunye; u-Isaka wayesebamukisa, basuka kuye ngokuthula. Kwathi ngalolo suku zafika izinceku zika-Isaka, zamtshela ngomthombo ezaziwumbile, zathi kuye: “Sitholile amanzi.” Wayesewubiza ngokuthi iSheba; ngalokho igama lomuzi lithi iBeri Sheba kuze kube namuhla. Kwathi u-Esawu eseneminyaka engamashumi amane, wathatha umfazi uJuditi indodakazi kaBeri umHeti noBasemati indodakazi ka-Eloni umHeti. Baba lusizi enhliziyweni ka-Isaka noRebeka.
