Genesis 21:11
  The matter distressed Abraham greatly because of his son.
   
Genesis 21:12
  But God said to Abraham, "Do not be distressed because of the lad and your maid; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her, for through Isaac your descendants shall be named.
   
Genesis 21:13
  "And of the son of the maid I will make a nation also, because he is your descendant."
   
Genesis 21:14
  So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder, and gave her the boy, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered about in the wilderness of Beersheba.
   
Genesis 21:15
  When the water in the skin was used up, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
   
Genesis 21:16
  Then she went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away, for she said, "Do not let me see the boy die." And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice and wept.
   
Genesis 21:17
  God heard the lad crying; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter with you, Hagar? Do not fear, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.
   
Genesis 21:18
  "Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him by the hand, for I will make a great nation of him."
   
Genesis 21:19
  Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the skin with water and gave the lad a drink.
   
Genesis 21:20
  God was with the lad, and he grew; and he lived in the wilderness and became an archer.

Genesis 21:23
  now therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but according to the kindness that I have shown to you, you shall show to me and to the land in which you have sojourned."
   
Genesis 21:24
  Abraham said, "I swear it."
   
Genesis 21:25
  But Abraham complained to Abimelech because of the well of water which the servants of Abimelech had seized.

Genesis 21:29
  Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs mean, which you have set by themselves?"
   
Genesis 21:30
  He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand so that it may be a witness to me, that I dug this well."
   
Genesis 21:31
  Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them took an oath.
   
Genesis 21:32
  So they made a covenant at Beersheba; and Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, arose and returned to the land of the Philistines.
   
Genesis 21:33
