Abraham and Abimelech's covenant
Abimelech and Phicol acknowledged that God was with Abraham and asked him to return their kindness to him and his descendants, and he swore to it. When Abraham reproved Abimelech about the well his servants seized, Abimelech claimed ignorance. Abraham gave him sheep and oxen and made a covenant, setting 7 ewe lambs apart as witness that he dug this well. The place was called Beersheba.
Abimelech and Phicol returned to Philistia.
