Of course, this is an improbable age for someone to have a son, but no more so than when Abraham and Sarah were 100 and 90 respectively when Isaac was born. There is literary evidence in The Bible itself as to how the oral storytellers arrived at these ages and the biblical lifespans of the Patriarchs.
Abraham's first son was Ishmael, who was born to him by his wife's servant, Hagar. Ishmael is considered the ancestor of the Arab people.
Ishmael and his mother, Hagar, were thrown out into the wilderness by Abraham due to Sarah's jealousy and demands. Sarah, Abraham's wife and Ishmael's stepmother, felt threatened by Ishmael's presence as he was also Abraham's son, prompting Abraham to send them away as he believed it was God's will.
Yes, Hagar was a surrogate mother to Abraham and Sarah in the Bible. She bore a son, Ishmael, on Sarah's behalf when Sarah was unable to conceive.
Abraham laughed because it seemed impossible for him and Sarah to have a child at such an old age. They had been unable to conceive for many years, so the idea of having a child in their old age seemed unbelievable to them.
