Ge:20:8: Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
Ge:20:9: Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
Ge:20:10: And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
Ge:20:11: And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
Ge:20:12: And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Ge:20:13: And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Ge:20:14: And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Ge:20:15: And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Ge:20:16: And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
Ge:20:17: So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
Ge:20:18: For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
Chapter 21
Ge:21:1: And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
Ge:21:2: For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Ge:21:3: And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
Ge:21:4: And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Ge:21:5: And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
Ge:21:6: And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
Ge:21:7: And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.
Ge:21:8: And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
Ge:21:9: And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
Ge: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.
Ge:21:11: And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
Ge: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 hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Ge:21:13: And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
Ge: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.
Ge:21:15: And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
Ge: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 see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
Ge:21:17: And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called 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.
Ge:21:18: Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
Ge: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.
Ge:21:20: And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Ge:21:21: And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
