 Abraham had dug all these wells as he needed, as a stranger, and they were not taken away: the only one contended for was Beer-sheba, and that Abimelech gave up. However, Beer-sheba was, in divine providence, the limit of the land according to the faith of Israel. The Philistines did remain till David came, the representative of Christ. The otherwise heirs of the land possessed it not fully. (Genesis 26 by J.N. Darby)
