Gen_16:10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

Ver. 10. I will multiply thy seed.] Thus God contemneth not poor servants; nay, if they be faithful, he will give them "the reward of inheritance," {Col_3:24} even a child’s part, as Hagar and her child had. We read not that she cried to God; but her affliction spake for her; and he is oft - out of his mere "philanthropy" - "found {Tit_3:4} of them that sought him not". {Rom_10:20} He heareth "the young ravens, that cry to him" only by way of implication. {Psa_147:9} "The Lord hath heard thy affliction," saith the angel in the next verse.
