So he made them a feast, and they ate and
drank. 31 In the morning they rose early and exchanged oaths. And Isaac sent
them on their way, and they departed from him in peace. 32 That same day
Isaac's servants came and told him about the well that they had dug and said to
him, “We have found water.”
During the course of reading Genesis 26 we
find most people coming to Isaac in conflict and all walking away in peace.
Isaac was a peacemaker. Whatever you were looking for when you went looking for
Isaac, it appears you always walked away from him with peace. Even here, we find
him preparing a feast and making promises of peace to people who have done nothing but
harass him previously. Isaac was often ready to forgive and quick to act if
asked to give it.
