Who dug the well called Beersheba -- Abraham or Isaac?
Genesis 21:27, 30-31, "So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a treaty... He replied, 'Accept these seven lambs from my hand as a witness that I dug this well.' So that place was called Beersheba [well of the oath], because the two men swore an oath there." Genesis 26:32-33, "That day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well they had dug. They said, 'We've found water!' He called it Shibah [oath], and to this day the name of the town has been Beersheba."
