21:1  And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
21:2  And Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
21:3  And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
21:4  And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
21:5  And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
21:6  And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me.
21:7  And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age.
21:8  And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
21:9  And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne unto Abraham, mocking.
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.
21:11  And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
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 saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
21:13  And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
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 Beer-sheba.
21:15  And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
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 look upon the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
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.
21:18  Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
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.
21:20  And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21:21  And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
21:22  And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
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.
21:24  And Abraham said, I will swear.
21:25  And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
21:26  And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but today.
21:27  And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
21:28  And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
21:29  And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
21:30  And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
21:31  Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
21:32  So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
21:33  And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
21:34  And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
