Sarah had been childless for so long up till her old age, she was already in in her nineties without a child and knowing the importance of having a child to preserve the lineage of her husband, she approached him and proposed to him that he took their maid-servant, Hagar as wife so she could bear him a son to preserve their lineage.

Hagar eventually bore a son for Ahraham, Ishmael, when Ishmael was already fourteen years old, because of the promise of God to Abraham and Sarah, she eventually conceived and bore a son too, Abraham at this time was already hundred years old.

I'm sure jealousy must have stirred her anger. And she approached her husband (a very gentle man and an old ma too, who doesn't want any trouble. She told him to send his slave wife and her son away from their home.
