But Abimelech said, “I don’t know who did this. You never told me about this before today!”
(The Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in this land at the same time.) The shepherds of Abram and Lot began to argue.
Then Abraham complained to Abimelech because Abimelech’s servants had captured a well of water.
So Abraham and Abimelech made an agreement. Abraham gave Abimelech some sheep and cattle as proof of the agreement.
