Holy Scripture
Genesis 21:11
A church father on this verse
“For her part, however, Sarah was not guilty of acting unreasonably; she acted even quite logically, so logically that even God agreed with the words she spoke. The patriarch, being affectionate and well disposed toward Ishmael, did not take kindly to her remarks. "This remark about his son … struck Abraham as severe."…”

9And Sarah having seen the son of Hagar the Egyptian who was born to Abraham, sporting with Isaac her son,
10then she said to Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not inherit with my son Isaac.
— Genesis 21:11 —
12But God said to Abraham, Let it not be hard before thee concerning the child, and concerning the bondwoman; in all things whatsoever Sarah shall say to thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.
