15. And when the water was finished from the skin, she put the child under one of the bushes.
16. And she went and she sat a good distance away, for she said, “Let me not see the child’s death.” So she sat away from him and lifted up her voice and wept.
17. And God heard the cry of the boy and the angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens and said to her, “What is the matter Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the cry of the boy from where he is.
18. Get up, take up the boy and take him with your 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 skin with water and gave a drink to the boy.
20. And God was with the boy, and he grew and lived in the wilderness. And he became an expert with a bow.
21. And he lived in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22. And it happened that at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “God is with you, in all that you do.
23. So now, swear to me here by God that you will not deal with me falsely, or with my descendants, or my posterity. According to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall pledge to do with me and with the land where you have dwelled as an alien.”
24. And Abraham said, “I swear.”
25. Then Abraham complained to Abimelech on account of the well of water that servants of Abimelech had seized.
