Genesis 17:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ God said, “No. Sarah your wife will have a son, and you will name him Isaac.^[a] I will make my agreement with him. It will be an agreement that continues forever with all his descendants.

²⁰ “You asked me about Ishmael, and I heard you. I will bless him. I will give him many descendants. And I will cause their numbers to grow very greatly. He will be the father of 12 great leaders. I will make him into a great nation. ²¹ But I will make my agreement with Isaac. He is the son whom Sarah will have at this same time next year.”
