创21:7And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle children? For I have borne [him] a son in his old age.

创21:8And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

创21:9And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

创21:10And she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid shall not inherit with my son -- with Isaac.

创21:11And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.

创21:12And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of thy handmaid: [in] all that Sarah hath said to thee hearken to her voice, for in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.

创21:13But also the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

创21:14And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a flask of water, and gave [it] to Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder -- and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

创21:15And the water was exhausted from the flask; and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,

创21:16and she went and sat down over against [him], a bow-shot off; for she said, Let me not behold the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lifted up her voice and wept.

创21:17And God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens, and said to her, What [aileth] thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad there, where he is.

创21:18Arise, take the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make of him a great nation.

创21:19And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the lad drink.

创21:20And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

创21:21And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

创21:22And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.

创21:23And now swear to me here by God that thou wilt not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou sojournest.

创21:24And Abraham said, I will swear.

创21:25And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.

创21:26And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this, neither hast thou told me [of it], neither have I heard [of it] but to-day.
