14 He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.
14 He had possessions of flocks and herds and many servants, so that the Philistines envied him.
14 He accumulated flocks and herds and many, many servants, so much so that the Philistines began to envy him.
14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.
14 He acquired so many flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle, and servants that the Philistines became jealous of him.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 26:14
Commentary on Genesis 26:12-17
(Read Genesis 26:12-17)
God blessed Isaac. Be it observed, for the encouragement of poor tenants who occupy other people's lands, and are honest and industrious, that God blessed him with a great increase. The Philistines envied Isaac. It is an instance of the vanity of the world; for the more men have of it, the more they are envied, and exposed to censure and injury. Also of the corruption of nature; for that is an ill principle indeed, which makes men grieve at the good of others. They made Isaac go out of their country. That wisdom which is from above, will teach us to give up our right, and to draw back from contentions. If we are wrongfully driven from one place, the Lord will make room for us in another.
