1) God tested Abraham by asking him to offer up Isaac as an offering (see Genesis ch.22).

2) Isaac had two very different sons, Esau and Jacob (Genesis ch.25); and God steadfastly refrained from instructing him as to which one of the two he should make the chief bearer of his traditions.

3) Isaac was harassed by the Philistines, who eyed his wife (Genesis ch.26), envied his wealth, stuffed up his father's wells, and made him leave their city (ibid).

4) In his advanced years, Isaac sought to bless his elder son Esau (Genesis ch.27). Rebecca took pains to thwart this, and Isaac experienced great consternation (ibid).

5) When Jacob journeyed for the purpose of marriage (Genesis ch.28), Isaac was separated from him for over twenty years (Genesis 31:38).
