Genesis 21:13 Context
11And the thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne. 12¶ And God said vnto Abraham, Let it not be grieuous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because of thy bond woman. In all that Sarah hath said vnto thee, hearken vnto her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. 13And also, of the sonne of the bond woman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. 14And Abraham rose vp earely in the morning, and tooke bread, and a bottle of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, (putting it on her shoulder,) and the child, and sent her away: and shee departed, and wandered in the wildernesse of Beer-sheba. 15And the water was spent in the bottle, and shee cast the child vnder one of the shrubs.

Wesley's Notes for Genesis 21:13
21:13 The casting out of Ishmael was not his ruin. He shall be a nation because he is thy seed - We are not sure that it was his eternal ruin. It is presumption to say, that all these who are left out of the external dispensation of God's covenant are excluded from all his mercies. Those may be saved who are not thus honoured.
