Hagar finally ran away, to run away was the only answer that she had because of her harsh masters. There was no protection for her at all. In some Nations and cultures today there are still conditions similar to the situation that we read of here. There are no Trade Unions for servants, there may be little, or no, protection for them. It is right to pray for servants who work and live in such environments.
