Genesis 17:24 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 17.

20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you, and I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He will become the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.

21 But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”

22 When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.

24 So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,

25 and his son Ishmael was thirteen;
