No Faith: Genesis 16

¹ Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar. ² So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.” And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai.

~NKJV

Sarah had no patience and her faith in God was running low. When God and the angels visited Abraham and told them Sarah would have a child, she laughed. She didn’t believe and gave Hagar to Abraham to sleep with. Thus, the Ishmaelites were born.
