| 2 | Genesis 21:9–21 | But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son, 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!” Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael. But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to everything that Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned. But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.” Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her away with the boy. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba. When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes. 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. 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. Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.” 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. And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.

Genesis 16:15 Summary
This verse tells us that Hagar, the servant of Abram's wife Sarai, gave birth to a son named Ishmael. Abram named the boy Ishmael, which means 'God hears', because God had heard Hagar's cry and promised to bless her and her son (as seen in Genesis 16:11). This event shows us that God is faithful to His promises, even if we do not always understand how He will fulfill them (Romans 4:18-22). We can trust in God's sovereignty and care, just like Abram and Hagar did, and know that He will work everything out for our good (Genesis 50:20).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Abram give the name Ishmael to his son?
Abram gave the name Ishmael to his son because it means 'God hears' in Hebrew, which reflects the promise that God had made to Hagar in Genesis 16:11, that He would multiply her descendants and give her a son.
What is the significance of Hagar bearing a son to Abram?
Hagar bearing a son to Abram signifies the beginning of the fulfillment of God's promise to Abram to make him the father of many nations, as stated in Genesis 17:4-5, although this was not the ultimate fulfillment of the promise, which would come through Sarah.
How does this verse relate to the overall story of Abram's life?
This verse is a significant event in Abram's life, as it marks the birth of his first son, Ishmael, and shows how Abram is still trusting in God's promises, even if he does not fully understand the timing or the means by which they will be fulfilled, as seen in Romans 4:18-22.
What can we learn from Abram's actions in this verse?
We can learn from Abram's actions that he is still trying to follow God's plan, even if he made mistakes, such as taking Hagar as his wife, and that he is trusting in God's sovereignty, as seen in Genesis 16:15 and Psalm 138:8.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse reveal about Abram's faith and trust in God's promises?
- How does the naming of Ishmael reflect the character of God and His relationship with Abram?
- What can I learn from Hagar's experience about God's presence and care in my own life?
- In what ways can I, like Abram, trust in God's sovereignty and timing, even when I do not understand His ways?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 16:15
And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 16:15
Hagar bare Abram a son, to wit, after her return and submission to her mistress, which is evident from the following history.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 16:15
Genesis 16:15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son’ s name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.Ver. 15. Ishmael.] A good name, had he made good use of it, and a great name still among the Persians.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 16:15
Verse 15. And Hagar bare Abram a son, c.] It appears, therefore, that Hagar returned at the command of the angel, believing the promise that God had made to her. Called his son's name - Ishmael.] Finding by the account of Hagar, that God had designed that he should be so called. "Ishmael," says Ainsworth, "is the first man in the world whose name was given him of God before he was born." IN the preceding chapter we have a very detailed account of the covenant which God made with Abram, which stated that his seed would possess Canaan and this promise, on the Divine authority, he steadfastly believed, and in simplicity of heart waited for its accomplishment. Sarai was not like minded. As she had no child herself, and was now getting old, she thought it necessary to secure the inheritance by such means as were in her power; she therefore, as we have seen, gave her slave to Abram, that she might have children by her. We do not find Abram remonstrating on the subject; and why is he blamed? God had not as yet told him how he was to have an heir; the promise simply stated, He that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir, Genesis 15:4. Concubinage, under that dispensation, was perfectly lawful; therefore he could, with equal justice and innocence, when it was lawful in itself, and now urged by the express desire of Sarai, take Hagar to wife. And it is very likely that he might think that his posterity, whether by wife or concubine, as both were lawful, might be that intended by the promise.
It is very difficult to believe that a promise which refers to some natural event can possibly be fulfilled but through some natural means. And yet, what is nature but an instrument in God's hands? What we call natural effects are all performed by supernatural agency; for nature, that is, the whole system of inanimate things, is as inert as any of the particles of matter of the aggregate of which it is composed, and can be a cause to no effect but as it is excited by a sovereign power. This is a doctrine of sound philosophy, and should be carefully considered by all, that men may see that without an overruling and universally energetic providence, no effect whatever can be brought about. But besides these general influences of God in nature, which are all exhibited by what men call general laws, he chooses often to act supernaturally, i.e., independently of or against these general laws, that we may see that there is a God who does not confine himself to one way of working, but with means, without means, and even against natural means, accomplishes the gracious purposes of his mercy in the behalf of man. Where God has promised let him be implicitly credited, because he cannot lie; and let not hasty nature intermeddle with his work.
