Genesis 16:1-16 Hagar and Ishmael
Sarai was Abram's wife. She had no children but she did have a maid servant named Hagar. Sarai knew that God was the one that was in charge of if she would have children or not. Where she went wrong was trying to take things in her own hands and tell him to have a child with her servant.
Hagar ended up conceiving and Sarai became upset with both Abram and also Hagar. Hagar ended up running away. As we know no one can run from God. The angel of the Lord came to Hagar and told her to go back and submit to Sarai.
The angel of the Lord told Hagar she would have many children. He also told her to name her son Ishmael.
Abram was 86 when Ishmael was born.
