Genesis 21:19 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 21.

15 When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.

16 Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, “I cannot bear to watch the boy die!” And as she sat nearby, she lifted up her voice and wept.

17 Then God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “What is wrong, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he lies.

18 Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”

19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.

20 And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.

21 And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

22 At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.

23 Now, therefore, swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
