Isaac was born at the time God said it would be. Isaac was circumcised when he was 8 days old as the commanded Abraham.

At the time Isaac was born, Abraham was 100 years old.
Hagar and Ishmael were sent away.

Sarah was unhappy with Ishmael playing with Isaac

One day, Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian salve had born to Abraham, played with Sarah’s son, Isaac.

When Sarah saw them, she wasn’t happy.
She said to Abraham, send this slave and her son away;
The son of this woman will not have a share of your wealth.
Abraham was worried because Ishmael was his son too.
However, God said to him, listen to your wife and do whatever she told you;
Because through Isaac, you will have the descendant I promised you.

Hagar and Ishmael were sent away 

The next morning, Abraham gave Hagar food and water and sent her away.
Hagar wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba until her water finished.

When the water was all gone, she lay her child down and said I couldn’t bear to have my child die.

God heard the cry of Ishmael and Hagar

While she was sitting 100 yards away from the child, she started crying.
God heard the cry of the child, and an angel appeared and said, don’t be afraid,

What are you trouble about? Get up and pick the boy.
God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water,
She filled the leather bag and gave some to the boy.
God was with the body as he grew up;
