Genesis 21:17-20

17God 1heard the lad crying; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter with you, Hagar? 2Do not fear, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. 18Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him by 3the hand, 4for I will make a great nation of him.” 19Then God 5opened her eyes and she saw 6a well of water; and she went and filled the 7skin with water and gave the lad a drink.

208God was with the lad, and he grew; and he 9lived in the wilderness and became an archer.
