Genesis chapter 21
Abraham and Sarah finally get the promised son after a wait of at least 13 years.
Sarah says “God has bought laughter into my life, those who hear of this will see the joke too. – that is a paraphrase, but Isaac means “he laughs”
Isaac’s older half brother, Ishmael, takes the opportunity to give young Isaac a bit of grief, and at the request of Sarah, Hagar and Ishmael are banished from the house hold, given them a water bottle and picnic and sent off into the desert
It is worth noting that God takes a hand in saving Hagar and Ishmael and they seem to get on ok once they find some more water.
Meanwhile Abilalek and Abraham make a treaty that they will not harm each other and Abimalek agrees that a well that is important to both sides was dug by Abraham and belongs to him – this is the well at Beersheba
Surely Abimalak would have noticed that Abraham's "Sister" was pregnant in the previous chapter? I guess not!
