 And the angel of the LORD said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands  And the angel of the LORD said to her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.   And the angel of the LORD said to her, Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael; because the LORD has heard your affliction.  And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.   And she called the name of the LORD that spoke to her, You God sees me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that see me?  Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
