Hello Kofi Peprah If I can say it like this, after Sarai gave the handmaid to Abram and the handmaid discovered she had conceived, Sarai stated that she was despised in her handmaid eyes. Sarai also knew she was wrong for what she had done by giving her handmaid to her husband, Genesis 16 5. She did not take God at his word. Sometimes people do this today they do not believe God s word. Then after this God renewed his covenant with Abram and changed both his name and Sarai names to Abraham and Sarah and she bared him a son, Genesis 17 10 thru 21. Perhaps Sarah, still being filled with guilt of what she had done could not bare the mocking 's of a child and his mother. Simply put Sarah did not want Ismael heir with her son, Genesis 21 9 thru 13. So she had Abraham cast out Hagar and her son.
