Genesis 21
21:2
For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his
a
old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
(
a) Therefore the miracle was greater.
21:7
And she said,
b Who would have said unto
Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born [him] a son
in his old age.
(
b) She accuses herself of ingratitude, that she
did not believe the angel.
21:9 And Sarah saw the son of
Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham,
c
mocking.
(
c) He derided God's promise made to Isaac
which the apostle calls persecution (
Galatians
4:29).
21:12
And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the
lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee,
hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be
d
called.
(
d) The promised seed will be from Isaac, and not
from Ishmael, (
Romans
9:7;
Hebrews
11:18).
21:13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I
make
e a nation, because he [is] thy
seed.
(
e) The Ishmaelites will come from him.
21:14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and
took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave [it] unto Hagar, putting [it] on her
shoulder, and the child, and
f sent her
away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
(
f) True faith renounces all natural affections
to obey God's commandment.
21:17
And God
g heard the voice of the lad;
and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What
aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he
[is].
(
g) For his promise sake made to Abraham; and not
because the child had discretion and judgment to pray.
21:19 And God
h
opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the
bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
(
h) Unless God opens our eyes, we can neither
see, nor use the means which are before us.
21:20 And God was
i
with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
(
i) Concerning outward things God caused him to
prosper.
21:24
And Abraham said, I will
k swear.
(
k) So that it is a lawful thing to take an oath
in matters of importance, to justify the truth, and to assure others of our
sincerity.
21:26 And Abimelech said,
l
I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet
heard I [of it], but to day.
(
l) Wicked servants do many evils unknown to
their masters.
21:32
Thus they made a
m covenant at
Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host,
and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
(
m) Thus we see that the godly, concerning
outward things may make peace with the wicked that do not know the true God.
21:33 And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beersheba,
and
n called there on the name of the
LORD, the everlasting God.
(
n) That is, he worshipped God in all points of
true religion.
