Hagar

Hagar was Sarah's Egyptian maidservant who bore Abraham's first son, Ishmael. When Sarah treated her harshly, she fled but was visited by an angel who told her to return. Later, she and Ishmael were sent away but God preserved them in the wilderness and promised to make Ishmael a great nation.
