The matter distressed Abraham greatly, because of his son.
In context
9Sarah saw the son that Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham, playing. 10She said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave woman and her son. The son of this slave woman will not share the inheritance with my son, with Isaac.” 11The matter distressed Abraham greatly, because of his son. 12But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to Sarah — do whatever she tells you — for it is through Isaac that your offspring will be named. 13And I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he too is your offspring.”
