One day, Abraham threw a party for young Isaac where Sarah heard Ishmael making fun of Isaac. She became very angry. She told Abraham, “Send Hagar and her son away. I don’t want Ishmael to share my Isaac’s inheritance.” This made Abraham very upset. Ishmael was his son too.
God told Abraham that it’s okay to send Hagar and Ishmael away. “Isaac is the promised son,” God said. “But I promise to watch over Hagar and Ishmael and even build the nation Ishmael’s descendants because he is your son too.”
The next day, Abraham got up early in the morning and gathered food and water for Hagar to take as she and Ishmael left. He was sad to send them away. Hagar and Ishmael wandered for days and had nowhere to go. Soon, the water they had brought ran out. Hagar left Ishmael sitting in the shade of the bush and walked a short distance away from him.
