Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Genesis 16:11

_ _ Ishmael — Like other Hebrew names, this had a signification, and it is made up of two words — “God hears.” The reason is explained.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Genesis 16:10-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Genesis 16:11

Ishmael, that is, God will hear; and the reason is, because the Lord hath heard: he hath, and therefore he will. The experience we have had of God's seasonable kindness in distress should encourage us to hope for the like help in the like exigencies. Even there, where there is little cry of devotion, the God of pity hears the cry of affliction: tears speak as well as prayers.
