Hagar was the Egyptian handmaid of Sarah, the wife of Abraham. The story is told in the Bible in the book of Genesis.
When Sarah could not conceive, she gave her handmaid Hagar to Abraham to have children. Hagar become pregnant and gave birth to Ishmael. (Genesis 16:1-9). In time Sarah also conceived and had her son Isaac. She became upset at Hagar and her son Ishmael and had Abraham banish them. Hagar feared for her life, but God told her not to worry, that he would make a great nation from her son Ishmael as well. (Genesis 21: 1-18)
