From now on, I'm just going to be really brief with my commentaries unless I feel motivated otherwise.
The Exile of Hagar and Ishmael
Genesis 21:8-21
Sarah shows her petty side once again, and Hagar and her son Ishmael are asked to leave Abraham's land to settle elsewhere. Abraham may have not been fond of the idea, but even God tells him to listen to Sarah. While wandering hopelessly in the desert, dying with thirst, Hagar and Ishmael momentarily give up on life and lay down in despair. Ishmael is in tears. An angel comes to their rescue and miraculously provides them with water. Ishmael is blessed, and has multitudes of offspring, eventually becoming a great nation.
There should be a movie about Hagar herself, by the way (if it hasn't been done yet). This woman went through a lot of shit according to the stories, and her story would make for a really good one on screen (if done right).
