Genesis 16

Impatient with God's timing, Abram and his wife Sarai decide to take matters into their own hands to secure an heir. Sarai gives her Egyptian servant, Hagar, to Abram. When Hagar conceives, she begins to despise Sarai, who then treats her harshly, forcing Hagar to flee to the wilderness. An angel of the Lord appears to Hagar, promising that her son, Ishmael, will be a wild man and the father of a multitude. Hagar returns and gives birth to Ishmael when Abram is eighty-six years old.
