Hagar flees and encounters the angel of the LORD
After Sarai dealt harshly with her, the pregnant Hagar fled toward Shur. The angel of the LORD found her by a spring, told her to return, and promised numerous descendants through the son she would name Ishmael (Genesis 16:1-14).

📖 Genesis 16:1–3
1Now Abram’s wife Sarai had borne him no children, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar. 2So Sarai said to Abram, “Look now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go to my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3So after he had lived in Canaan for ten years, his wife Sarai took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to Abram to be his wife.
