Genesis 21

¹⁰ and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”

¹¹ Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.

¹³ But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
