In the Bible, who bore Abraham a son called Ishmael?
"after Isaac was weaned, Sarah found the teenage Ishmael mocking her son. She was so upset by it that she demanded that Abraham send Hagar and her son away. She declared that Ishmael would not share in Isaac's inheritance. Abraham was greatly distressed but God told Abraham to do as his wife commanded because God's promise would be carried out through both Isaac and Ishmael. Early the next morning, Abraham brought Hagar and Ishmael out together. Abraham gave Hagar bread and water then sent them into the wilderness of Beersheba. She and her son wandered aimlessly until their water was"
"Ishmaelites According to the Book of Genesis, Ishmaelites (Arabic: ""Bani Isma'il"", Hebrew: ""Bnai Yishma'el"") are the descendants of Ishmael, the elder son of Abraham and the descendants of the twelve sons and princes of Ishmael. In the Quran; """"God has gifted all of Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah and Lot a favour above the nations"""". """"With some of their forefathers and their offspring and their brethren; and We chose them and guided them unto a straight path"""". According to the Book of Genesis, Abraham's first wife was named Sarah and her Egyptian slave was named Hagar. However Sarah could not conceive. According"
"source. Abram and Sarai prospered materially but had no children. Abram thought to leave his estate to a trusted servant, but God promised him a son and heir. When he was 86 years old, Sarai suggested and Abraham agreed that a practical way to have a child was through Sarah’s servant Hagar. Hagar conceived right away and in time Ishmael was born. This situation brought strife rather than happiness between Hagar and Sarah. Nevertheless, God saw Hagar’s suffering and promised that although this was not the child promised to Abraham, he would nevertheless make Ishmael’s descendants into a great nation"
"and rulers. Abraham threw himself on his face and laughed at the thought that a child could be born to a man of a hundred and a woman of ninety, and Abraham asked God to bless Ishmael. But God told him that Sarah would bear Abraham a son, and Abraham was to name him Isaac, and God would maintain the everlasting covenant with him and his offspring. In response to Abraham's prayer, God blessed Ishmael as well and promised to make him exceedingly numerous, the father of twelve chieftains and a great nation. But God would maintain the covenant with"
"the covenant in a mass circumcision. His father Abram, given the new name ""Abraham,"" then 99, was circumcised along with the others (). At the time of the covenant, God informed Abraham that his wife Sarah would give birth to a son, whom he was instructed to name Isaac. God told Abraham that He would establish his covenant through Isaac, and when Abraham inquired as to Ishmael's role, God answered that Ishmael has been blessed and that He ""will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation."""
"to ""Genesis 16:3"" Sarah (then Sarai) gave her slave Hagar in marriage to Abraham, in order that Abraham might have an heir - """"And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her slave the Egyptian...and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife”"" (King James Version). Hagar conceived Ishmael from Abraham, and the Ishmaelites descend from him. After Abraham pleaded with God for Ishmael to live under his blessing, ""Genesis 17:20"" states, """"But as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve rulers shall he beget,"

"as Abraham. In the Torah, Abraham refers to Sarah as his sister. According to Jewish Tradition, Sarah was Abraham's niece, Iscah (Jessica). (Haran, brother of Abraham, was the father of both Milcah and Iscah. There is a Jewish oral tradition that Milcah is the ancestor of all prophets of non-Jewish nations.) Before fathering Isaac, Abraham had a son, Ishmael, with Sarah's maidservant, Hagar the Egyptian. After Sarah died, Abraham also had six other children with a woman named Keturah. Isaac alone came from the maternal line of Sarah. The Torah's story line continues with the life of Isaac. ""The Nation"

This is understood as a metaphoric representation of the Muslim world (first Arabs and then Turks) with Ishmael. Rabbinical commentators in the Midrash Genesis Rabbah also say that Ishmael's mother Hagar was the Pharaoh's daughter, thereby making Ishmael the grandson of the Pharaoh.

Jacob and Esau were born when Isaac was 60 (Gen. 25:26); at that time Ishmael was 74.

"Ismail (name) Ismail (, ) is an Arabic given name. It corresponds to the English name Ishmael.
