Notes
Earlier, Sarah mistreated Hagar and forced her to flee (16:6). Later, when Hagar’s son mistreated Isaac, Sarah insisted that the slave woman and her son leave.
God used the incident of Ishmael’s mocking Isaac to separate Ishmael and Hagar from the family and the child of promise. They would constantly threaten the promised descendant if they remained with the family.
