17 Then God heard the boy’s voice and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and He said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid, because God has heard the boy’s voice where he is.
18 Get up! Lift the boy up, and hold on to him with your hand, for I will make him a great nation.”
19 Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water, and she went and filled the water skin, and gave the boy a drink.
20 God was with the boy and he grew. He dwelled in the wilderness and became an archer.
21 He dwelled in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22 Now it came about at that same time that Abimelech—with Phicol the commander of his army---said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
23 So now, make a pledge to me here, by God, that you will not violate your word with me or with my descendants or with my offspring. As I have shown loyalty to you, show the same to me, and to the land in which you have lived as an outsider.”
