The LORD was kind to Sarah. He did what he had promised to do for her.

Ishmael 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. Go 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.’

Sarah became pregnant. She gave birth to a son for Abraham when he was very old. This happened at the time that God promised Abraham it would happen.

Sarah said, ‘Now God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears about what has happened will be happy with me.’

God said to Abraham, ‘Do not be upset about Ishmael or about Hagar. Do whatever Sarah tells you. Your family's descendants will come through Isaac, not Ishmael.

But because Ishmael is also your son, I will make his descendants become a great nation of people too.’
