Genesis 26:21 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. They dug another well - Never did any man more implicitly follow the Divine command, Resist not evil, than Isaac; whenever he found that his work was likely to be a subject of strife and contention, he gave place, and rather chose to suffer wrong than to have his own peace of mind disturbed. Thus he overcame evil with good.
