Eight sons: Genesis 16:1-15 talks of Hagar, Sarai's Egyptian servant, having Ishmael, the firstborn son of Abram. Then Abraham had Isaac, his son through Sarah (Gen. 17:5, 17:19-21, Gen. ch.21). In Genesis 25:1 we hear of Keturah (Abraham married her after the death of Sarah) having 6 sons for Abraham. These were Zimram, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

The Bible further in Genesis 25:6 states that Abraham had children by his concubines whom he gave gifts but does not indicate how many nor does it name them. Keturah was not a concubine; she was his wife. So the question is really unanswerable, but there were eight known children. When God promised that Abraham would be the father of many nations we might assume that Isaac (Jewish) and Ishmael (Arab) were the only nations produced directly from Abraham but that is not true.

Answer:

According to Jewish tradition, the above-named eight sons were the only ones Abraham had.
