“I have no idea who did that,” Abimelech replied. “In fact, you never told me about it, nor did I ever hear of it until now.”
There were quarrels between the herders of Abram’s livestock and the herders of Lot’s livestock. At this time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land.
Abraham, however, reproached Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized by force.
Then Abraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech and the two made a covenant.
