What does Genesis 26:6 mean?

Isaac obeyed God's command to stay in Gerar and not to go to Egypt to seek relief from the famine. This statement of simple obedience follows the previous verse in which the Lord told Isaac that He had sworn to bless Abraham because of his obedience. Abraham obeyed God when commanded to move to a new region (Genesis 12:1–3). Now Isaac repeats the pattern and obeys, as well (Genesis 26:1–5).
