Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]
Genesis 26:21. The same root as Satan. Now Shutnet . The second of the two wells dug by Isaac in the valley of Gerar, which the herdsmen of the place strove for as theirs. On the left of the Wady Ruhaibeh is the small valley Shutneh Er Ruhaibeh , preserving the name. Palmer suggests that the great well in Wady Sadi is Isaac's. (Palestine Exploration Society, "Our Work".)
Morrish Bible Dictionary [2]
Name given to a well dug by Isaac's servants because it was seized by the servants of Abimelech. Genesis 26:21 . Fürst says it signifies 'strife'; Gesenius says 'contention,' and in Ezra 4:6 , where the same word occurs as a common noun, it is 'accusation.'
Smith's Bible Dictionary [3]
Sit'nah. (Strife). The second of the two wells, dug by Isaac in the valley of Gerar, the possession of which the herdmen of the valley disputed with him. Genesis 26:21.

(Heb. Sitnah', שַׂטְנָה; Sept. ἐχθρία; Josephus, Σιτεννά , Ant. 1, 18, 2; Vulg. Inimicitioe ), the second of the two wells dug by Isaac in the valley of Gerar, and the possession of which the herdmen of the valley disputed with him (Genisis 26:21). Like the first one, Esek, it received its name from the disputes which took place over it, Sitnah meaning, as is stated in the margin, "hatred," or more accurately "accusation," but the play of expression has not been in this instance preserved in the Hebrew. The Sept., however, has attempted it ἐκρίνοντο ...ἐχθρία. The root of the name is the same as that of Satan, and this has been taken advantage of by Aquila and Symmachus, who render it respectively ἀντικειμένη and ἐναντίωσις. (See Isaac).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [8]
sit´na ( שׂטנה , siṭnāh , "hatred," "hostility"; ἐχθρία , echthrı́a ): The name of the second of the two wells dug by the herdsmen of Isaac, the cause of further "enmity" with the herdsmen of Gerer ( Genesis 26:21 , margin "That is, Enmity "). The site is unknown, but Palmer ( PEFS , 1871) finds an echo of the name in Shuṭnet er Ruḥeibeh , the name of a small valley near Ruḥeibeh . See Rehoboth .
