Hagar's Story 2
| 8 | And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned. |
| 9 | And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. |
| 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. |
| 11 | And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son. |
| 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. |
| 13 | And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. |
| 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 Beer-sheba. |
| 15 | And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. |
| 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 lifted up her voice, and wept. |
| 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. |
| 18 | Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. |
| 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. |
| 20 | And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. |
| 21 | And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. |
