The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.

And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”

And also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

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 lifted up her voice, and wept.

God heard the voice of the boy.

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.

Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”

Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make him a great nation.

Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”

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.

Abraham said, “I will swear.”

And Abraham said, I will swear.

Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”

And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day.

Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore an oath there.
