We now pick up our story by returning to the Bible and the book of Genesis.16:3 and Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband to be his wife.16:11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and thou shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.16:12 and he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand will be against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.It should be noted at this point that Ishmael was the firstborn son of Abraham. Borne to him by his WIFE Hagar. This is a very important fact which is usually overlooked in the reading of the Bible. We will now advance 13 years to the circumstances of the more noted second son. Again in Genesis we read;17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.17:16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her
