'Contended' in the Bible

the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.

Then Jacob became angry and contended with Laban; and Jacob said to Laban, “What is my transgression? What is my sin that you have hotly pursued me?

And He said, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.”
