26Now there arose a famine in the land, besides the first famine that occurred in the days of Abraham,+ so that Isaac directed himself to A·bimʹe·lech, king of the Phi·lisʹtines, to Geʹrar.+
17 And it came about at the time of Pharʹaoh’s sending the people away that God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Phi·lisʹtines just because it was near, for God said: “It might be the people will feel regret when they see war and will certainly return to Egypt.”+
