King James Translators' Notes

Shebah: That is, an oath

Beersheba: that is, the well of the oath

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

26:26-33 When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him, Pr 16:7. Kings' hearts are in his hands, and when he pleases, he can turn them to favour his people. It is not wrong to stand upon our guard in dealing with those who have acted unfairly. But Isaac did not insist on the unkindnesses they had done him; he freely entered into friendship with them. Religion teaches us to be neighbourly, and, as much as in us lies, to live peaceable with all men. Providence smiled upon what Isaac did; God blessed his labours.


Genesis 21:31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them took an oath. (NASB ©1995)

Beersheba Beer-Sheba City Oath

And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.

Shebah. i.e., an oath. therefore. 21:31

Beer-sheba. i.e., the well of the oath. 28 This may have been the same city which was called Beer-sheba a hundred years before this, in the time of Abraham; but as the well, from which it had its name originally, was closed up by the Philistines, the name of the place might have been abolished with the well; when, therefore, Isaac re-opened it, he restored the ancient name of the place.
