GE-21:1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD
did
unto Sarah as he had spoken.
GE-21:2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old
age,
at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
GE-21:3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born
unto
him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
GE-21:4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days
old,
as God had commanded him.
GE-21:5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son
Isaac was
born unto him.
GE-21:6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that]
all that
hear will laugh with me.
GE-21:7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that
Sarah
should have given children suck? for I have born [him] a son in
his
old age.
GE-21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a
great
feast the [same] day that Isaac was weaned.
GE-21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she
had
born unto Abraham, mocking.
GE-21:10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this
bondwoman and
her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my
son,
[even] with Isaac.
GE-21:11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight
because
of his son.
GE-21:12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in
thy
sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all
that
Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac
shall
thy seed be called.
GE-21:13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a
nation,
because he [is] thy seed.
GE-21:14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took
bread,
and a bottle of water, and gave [it] unto Hagar, putting [it] on
her
shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and
wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
GE-21:15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the
child under one of the shrubs.
GE-21:16 And she went, and sat her down over against [him] a
good way
off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the
death of
the child. And she sat over against [him], and lift up her voice,
and
wept.
GE-21:17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of
God
called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth
thee,
Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he
[is].
GE-21:18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand;
for I
will make him a great nation.
GE-21:19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water;
and
she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad
drink.
GE-21:20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the
wilderness, and became an archer.
GE-21:21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his
mother took
him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
GE-21:22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and
Phichol
the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God
[is]
with thee in all that thou doest:
GE-21:23 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt
not
deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son:
[but]
according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt
do
unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
GE-21:24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
GE-21:25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of
water,
which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
GE-21:26 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing:
neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I [of it], but to
day.
GE-21:27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto
Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
GE-21:28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by
themselves.
GE-21:29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What [mean] these
seven ewe
lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
GE-21:30 And he said, For [these] seven ewe lambs shalt thou
take of
my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged
this
well.
GE-21:31 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because
there they
sware both of them.
GE-21:32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech
rose
up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned
into
the land of the Philistines.
GE-21:33 And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beersheba, and called
there
on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
GE-21:34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many
days.
