Answers
The marriage of Hagar to Avraham took place fifteen years prior to the promise that Sarah would have a son and Yishmael was thirteen years old when Yitzchak was born. The commenatries explain that Sarah’s sacrifice of giving Hagar to Avraham as a wife was the beginning of the process that led to her being able to have her own child.
