Esek
(Hebrew id. , quarrel; Sept. and Vulg. translate , calumnia, as if reading ), a well () containing a spring of water, which the herdsmen of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerar, and which received its name because the herdmen of Gerar quarreled , wrangled, Sept. , Vulg. evasively, A.V. “strove;” but different from the of the preceding clause, , jurgiun fuit, “strove”) with him for the possession of it (Gen 26:20). Isaac seems to have therefore relinquished it. It appears not to have been one of those which Abraham had previously dug (Gen 26:18; the contest there was a question of title, here of possession). There are still several wells in this vicinity. SEE GERAR.
