Genesis 17:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 And Abraham said unto God, Oh, that Ishmael might live in thy sight.
19 Then God said, (A)Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed, and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an [a]everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20 And as concerning Ishmael, I have heard thee: lo, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him [b]exceedingly: twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make a great nation of him.
