Genesis 21:10-14
New International Version
10 and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman(A) and her son, for that woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.”(B)
11 The matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son.(C) 12 But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring[a] will be reckoned.(D) 13 I will make the son of the slave into a nation(E) also, because he is your offspring.”
14 Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar.(F) He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the Desert of Beersheba.(G)

King James Version
10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

Genesis 21:10-14
New King James Version
10 Therefore she said to Abraham, (A)“Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac.” 11 And the matter was very [a]displeasing in Abraham’s sight (B)because of his son.
12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for (C)in Isaac your seed shall be called. 13 Yet I will also make (D)a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your [b]seed.”
14 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and [c]a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and (E)sent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.
