So Abimelech said, “I don’t know who did this thing. Nor did you tell me, nor did I hear about it until today.”
So there was a quarrel between the shepherds of Abram’s livestock and the shepherds of Lot’s livestock. (Now the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land then.)
Now Abraham had rebuked Abimelech because of the well of water that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
Then Abraham took a flock of sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
