Genesis 21:17-20

17God 1heard the boy crying; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “2What is the matter with you, Hagar? 3Do not fear, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. 18Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him by 4the hand, 5for I will make a great nation of him.” 19Then God 6opened her eyes, and she saw 7a well of water; and she went and filled the 8skin with water and gave the boy a drink.

20And 9God was with the boy, and he grew; and he lived in the wilderness and became an archer.
