Genesis 21:22-34: Summary: Abimelech and Phicol have noticed something about Abraham: the Everlasting God is with him in all he does. Unsettled, they seek a peace-treaty with Abraham, to which Abraham agrees. God blesses those who bless Abraham. When the treaty is transgressed by the taking of the prophet's well, Abraham reproves Abimelech. Abimelech pleads the fifth. Abraham swears to his own hurt that he dug the well himself. He gifts Abimelech seven ewe lambs as an ongoing reminder of his integrity and trustworthiness. Abraham's well will not be seized by faithless men. Abimelech and Phicol return to the Philistines. Abraham plants a tree in Beersheba and calls upon the name of the Lord. The Everlasting God is for Abraham. His sufficiency enables His man to offer peace to the nations at cost to himself throughout his sojourning. It's no coincidence that the substitutionary sacrifice of God's ram is right around the corner.
