Genesis 21:17-20

17Ishmael was crying and God heard him. The angel of God spoke to Hagar from heaven. He said, ‘What is the trouble, Hagar? Do not be afraid. God has heard the boy while he is crying there.

18Go over to him and lift him up. Take hold of his hand and help him to stand. I will make him become a great nation of people.’

19Then God helped Hagar to see clearly. She saw a well with water in it. She went to the well and she filled the bottle with water. She gave the boy some water to drink.

20God took care of Ishmael while he grew up. The boy lived in the desert. He became a hunter of wild animals.
