God was with the boy as he grew. He lived in the wilderness and became an archer.
He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother found a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
At that time Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham,“God is with you in all that you do.
Now swear to me right here in God’s name that you will not deceive me, my children, or my descendants. Show me, and the land where you are staying, the same loyalty that I have shown you.”
Abraham said,“I swear to do this.”
But Abraham lodged a complaint against Abimelech concerning a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
“I do not know who has done this thing,” Abimelech replied.“Moreover, you did not tell me. I did not hear about it until today.”
