1The LORD was good to Sarah and kept his promise.
2Although Abraham was very old, Sarah had a son exactly at the time God had said.
5Abraham was a hundred years old when Isaac was born,
6and Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Now everyone will laugh with me.
7Who would have dared to tell Abraham that some day I would have a child? But in his old age, I have given him a son.”
8The time came when Sarah no longer had to nurse Isaac, and on that day Abraham gave a big feast.
Hagar and Ishmael are sent away9-10One day, Sarah noticed Hagar's son Ishmael playing, and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that Egyptian slave woman and her son! I don't want him to inherit anything. It should all go to my son.”
11Abraham was worried about Ishmael.
12But God said, “Abraham, don't worry about your slave woman and the boy. Just do what Sarah tells you. Isaac will inherit your family name, because they made a treaty there.
32When the treaty was completed, Abimelech and his army commander Phicol went back to the land of the Philistines.
33Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and worshipped the eternal LORD God.
34Then Abraham lived a long time as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines.
