What does God promise Ishmael?

According to The Bible, Jehovah God promised to "bless him...make him fruitful...and multiply him...very much...and..make him a great nation." (Genesis 17:16-20) This happened after Hagar (his mother) found him a wife, after which Ishmael had 12 sons just as Jehovah had said (Genesis 17:20), that would end up becoming the chiefs of the Ishmaelite nation. (Genesis 25:13-16)
