Genesis 21:33
And Abraham planted a grove in Beer–sheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.
Cross-reference
Genesis 4:26 records when people first began to call on the LORD's name — Abraham at Beersheba continues that ancient practice of invoking God directly.
Genesis 12:8 shows Abraham's pattern: at each altar, he 'called on the LORD's name.' Genesis 21:33 continues this lifelong practice at Beersheba.
Genesis 26:25 mirrors this exactly — Isaac calls on the LORD's name and builds an altar at Beersheba, replicating his father's act.
In Genesis 14:22 Abraham invokes God as 'LORD, God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth' — another instance of Abraham naming God with a specific divine title, paralleling El Olam.
Jacob erects an altar and names God 'El-Elohe-Israel' — directly paralleling Abraham's pattern of establishing a sacred marker and naming God with a divine title.
Jacob stops at Beersheba to offer sacrifices to God — the same place Abraham established worship of El Olam. Beersheba endures as a site of patriarchal worship.
Genesis 26:33 names the well 'Shibah,' confirming Beersheba — the city where Abraham worshipped — as an enduring landmark across generations.
Deuteronomy 33:27 calls God 'the eternal God' (El Olam) — the same title Abraham proclaimed at Beersheba, now as Israel's refuge.
Isaiah 40:28 names God 'the everlasting God' — directly echoing El Olam — and adds that He never faints or grows weary.
Jeremiah 10:10 calls God 'the everlasting King' — the same eternal nature Abraham proclaimed as El Olam at Beersheba.
Amos 8:14 mentions Beersheba as a site of false swearing by foreign gods — a corruption of the true worship Abraham established there by calling on the LORD.
Psalm 90:2 expands the 'Everlasting God' concept: God exists 'from everlasting to everlasting' — before creation itself.

Paul's doxology calls God 'the King eternal,' matching Abraham's El Olam. Both frame God's eternality as worthy of praise and worship.
Jehoshaphat's reform spans 'from Beersheba' — the very place Abraham first called on the LORD there. Beersheba marks the southern boundary of worship of Israel's God.
