8And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. 9And Sarah saw, the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, whom she had born to Abraham, mocking. 10Therefore she said to Abraham, “Throw this bondwoman and her son out; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, Isaac”. 11And this was very grievous to Abraham because of his son (Ishmael). 12And God said to Abraham, “Do not let it grievous to you because of the lad, and because of your bondwoman; in all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for it is through Isaac that your offspring shall be called (counted). 13And I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your child.” 14And Abraham arose early in the morning, and took bread, and a skin (bottle) of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she left, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. 15And after the water in the bottle was gone, she left the child under one of the shrubs. 16And she went, and sat down apart a good way, about bowshot, from him; for she said, “I don’t want to watch the boy die”. And so she sat apart from him, and lift up her voice, and wept. 17And God heard the voice of the lad; and the Angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar? Have no fear; for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. 18Go to the lad, and comfort him; for I will make of him a great nation.” 19And God opened her eyes, so that and she saw a well of water; and she went, filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad a drink. 20And God was with the lad; and he grew, lived in the desert, and became an archer. 21And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

22And at that time, Abimelech and Phichol, the commander of his forces, said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do: 23Now 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 accord to me the kindness that I have shown to you, and to the land in which you have been a stranger.” 24And Abraham said, “I will swear.” 25And Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently seized. 26And Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this; nor did you tell me, nor had I heard of it, until today”. 27And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and the two of them made a treaty. 28And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart by themselves. 29And Abimelech asked Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs which you have set off by themselves?” 30And he said, “Accept these seven ewe lambs from my hand as a witness, that I have dug this well.” 31Therefore he named that place “Beer-sheba”; because there they both swore an oath there. 32Thus they made a treaty at Beer-sheba: then Abimelech and Phichol, the commander of his forces, arose, and they returned to the land of the Philistines. 33And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there upon the name of the LORD, the everlasting God. 34And Abraham stayed in the Philistines' land for a long time.
