And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.\n \n17\u00a0And 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.\n \n18\u00a0Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.\n \n19\u00a0And 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.\n \n20\u00a0And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.\n \n21\u00a0And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.\n \n22\u00a0And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:\n \n23\u00a0Now 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.\n \n24\u00a0And Abraham said, I will swear.\n \n25\u00a0And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.\n \n26\u00a0And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.\n \n27\u00a0And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.\n \n28\u00a0And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.\n \n29\u00a0And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?\n \n30\u00a0And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.\n \n31\u00a0Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.\n \n32\u00a0Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.\n \n33\u00a0And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.\n \n34\u00a0And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.","title":"King James Version: Genesis: Genesis Chapter 21","type":"page"}
