18 So Abraham responded to God, |If only Ishmael would live in constant awareness that you're always with him!| 19 But God replied, |No, but your wife Sarah will give birth to your son, and you are to name him Isaac. I'll confirm my covenant with him as an eternal covenant for his descendants. 20 And as for Ishmael, I've heard you. I'll bless him, and he'll have many descendants. I will multiply him greatly, he'll father twelve tribal leaders, and I'll cause his descendants to become a great nation. Genesis 17:18-20, Intl. Standard Version.
