Abram was married to Sarai who couldn't have children. She had a servant called Hagar and because Sarai was so desperate for children she told Abram to sleep with Hagar and if Hagar got pregnant, she would have the baby and then Abram and Sarai would raise it as their own. Abram agreed and Hagar got pregnant. Hagar began to hate Sarai and Sarai was upset and said that God should judge whether Sarai or Abram was right or wrong. Abram told her that Hagar was her servant and she should do what she wanted with her. Sarai was horrible to Hagar and Hagar ran away. While Hagar was running away, she saw an angel who aksed her what she was doing and she told the angel that she was running away from Sarai. The angel told her to go back to Sarai. The angel also told her to name the child Ishmael and that no-one would like him.

According to Genesis 12:13, Abram feared that the king would kill him in order to have sex with his wife. Abram somehow knew that the king would not kill her brother for the same reason, so told the king that she was only his sister. For the same reason, he successfully deceived the king of Gerar by saying that his by now quite elderly wife really was his sister.
