25 And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a wel of water, which Abimeleches seruauntes had violently taken away. 26 And Abimelech said, I wote not who hath done this thing: also thou toldest me not, neyther hearde I of it but this day. 27 And Abraham toke sheepe and Oxen, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: & they made both of them a leage together. 28 And Abraham set seuen ewe lambes by them selues. 29 And Abimelech sayd vnto Abraham: what meane these seuen ewe lambes whiche thou hast set by them selues? 30 He aunswered: for these seuen ewe lambes shalt thou take of my hande, that they may be a wytnesse vnto me, that I haue digged this well. 31 Wherefore the place is called Beer seba, because that there they sware both of them.
