Genesis 25:11

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi. The welfare and prosperity of Abraham was continued in that of Isaac, who now, as once before, moved to the southern part of Canaan and made his headquarters at the well of Hagar, but retained his principal residence at Hebron, Genesis 35:27.
