Here are several commentaries:
1) He was Abraham's only son through Sarah (Rashi commentary, Genesis ch.22).
2) He was the son through whom Abraham's covenant with God would continue (this is an explicit verse in Genesis 17).
3) For both of the above reasons, it was said that only Isaac would be considered Abraham's real seed (Genesis 21:12).
Interestingly, despite Isaac being much younger than he, even Ishmael acknowledged Isaac's preeminence (Rashi commentary, Genesis ch.25).

Isaac died of old age. The deaths of Ishmael and the other children are not mentioned in the Torah.

Some biblical scholars say that in this passage, God was not saying that he was the only god, but that he was the god of Moses' ancestors and therefore the god most important to Moses and his successors.

Why do you think was a test of faith for Abraham to sacrifice his son?
Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that, in a strange way, the passage about Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son speaks more about God's faith in Abraham than Abraham's faith in God.He goes on to say that if you say that Abraham, when he goes up Mount Moriah, neither hopes nor believes in the slightest that Isaac will somehow be saved or restored at the end of it all - if you say that Abraham has resigned himself wholly to the loss of his son Isaac - then you must also say that Abraham is offering Isaac to a God whom Abraham believes to be a liar. For did not God promise that "it is through Isaac that offspring shall be called for you (21:12)? God's covenant was with lsaac - not with Ishmael or Lot, nor with some other son of Abraham - to be an "everlasting covenant for his offspring to come" (17:19). Abraham's name itself("Father of many") bears the mark of this covenant.Kass' analysis tells us that Abraham could only have been confident that Isaac would not die.

(Ex.3:15)"Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the Truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers..." (Rom.15:8).

Did Abraham know that God was going to provide another sacrifice so he would not have to kill his son?
A:Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that in a strange way the passage about Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son speaks more about God's faith in Abraham than Abraham's faith in God. Kass also cites an insightful comment from a student he taught at his university. If you say that Abraham, when he goes up Mount Moriah, neither hopes nor believes in the slightest that Isaac will somehow be saved or restored at the end of it all - if you say that Abraham has resigned himself wholly to the loss of his son Isaac - then you must also say . . . that Abraham is here offering Isaac to a God whom Abraham believes to be a liar. For did not God promise that "it is through Isaac that offspring shall be called for you (Genesis 21:12)?
