When Abraham was 99 years old, God appeared to him and said again.

Ge17:15~19 『God also said to Abraham,"As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her."
Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself,
"Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?"
And Abraham said to God,
"If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!"
Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.』
"Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?"
And Abraham said to God,

Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.』
Abraham was afraid that he had been continuously causing God asxiety due to his own family matter.
So he said to God, "If only Ishmael live under your blessing!" but God said no.
Eventually, Ishmael. However, as for Isaac, even before his birth, God himself testified that he would become the heir of Abraham.
