Genesis 26:26-33
"Covenant with Abimelech"
Here, Abimelech, again, acknowledges God. He remarks on the blessings God has bestowed on Isaac and (partly out of fear of annihilation) proposes a peace treaty between them. Note that Abimelech also takes some credit for the change in amount of blessings poured out on Isaac. He claimed that his sending-out of Isaac allowed him to come closer to God.
Nevertheless, Abimelech and Isaac formed their peace treaty of of non-aggression after which God blessed Isaac yet again by pointing out to them a new well. God's blessing was with them and Isaac then named the well, a reminder of the peace treaty.
