¹⁸ Of whom it had been said, From Isaac will your seed take their name:

¹⁹ And God said, Not so; but Sarah, your wife, will have a son, and you will give him the name Isaac, and I will make my agreement with him for ever and with his seed after him.

²¹ But my agreement will be with Isaac, to whom Sarah will give birth a year from this time.

⁷ And the Lord said to Samuel, Give ear to the voice of the people and what they say to you: they have not been turned away from you, but they have been turned away from me, not desiring me to be king over them.

⁹ Give ear now to their voice: but make a serious protest to them, and give them a picture of the sort of king who will be their ruler.

¹⁰ Making clear from the first what is to come, and from past times the things which have not so far come about; saying, My purpose is fixed, and I will do all my pleasure;

⁷ And they are not all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac will your seed be named.

⁸ That is, it is not the children of the flesh, but the children of God's undertaking, who are named as the seed.
