(KJV.) GENESIS 26:17-20
(17) And Isaac departed thence; and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwell there.
(18) And Isaac digged again the wells of water which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
(19) And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water
(20) And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdman, saying; The water is ours and he called the name of the well Esek: because they strive with him.
ADDENDUM:
What were the underlining principles why the herdmen of Gerar strove with Isaac over the wells of water?
