Sarai never despised Hagar; Hagar was her friend and helper. When Abraham (Abram) never could have kids with Sarah (Sarai), Sarah sent Hagar to "sleep" with Abraham so they could have a child. But once God blessed Sarah with Isaac when Abraham was 99, then Sarah had her own child. She may have been jealous of Hagar, but she never despised her
