Genesis 24:36

36: When Sarah, my master's wife, was very old, she gave birth to my master's son, and my master has given him everything he owns.

So she turned to Abraham and demanded, "Get rid of that servant and her son. He is not going to share the family inheritance with my son, Isaac. I won't have it!"

Then the LORD did exactly what he had promised.
Sarah became pregnant, and she gave a son to Abraham in his old age. It all happened at the time God had said it would.
And Abraham named his son Isaac.
Eight days after Isaac was born, Abraham circumcised him as God had commanded.
Abraham was one hundred years old at the time.

Then one of them said, "About this time next year I will return, and your wife Sarah will have a son." Now Sarah was listening to this conversation from the tent nearby.
And since Abraham and Sarah were both very old, and Sarah was long past the age of having children,
she laughed silently to herself. "How could a worn-out woman like me have a baby?" she thought. "And when my master--my husband--is also so old?"
Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, `Can an old woman like me have a baby?'
Is anything too hard for the LORD? About a year from now, just as I told you, I will return, and Sarah will have a son."

Then God added, "Regarding Sarai, your wife--her name will no longer be Sarai; from now on you will call her Sarah.
And I will bless her and give you a son from her! Yes, I will bless her richly, and she will become the mother of many nations. Kings will be among her descendants!"
Then Abraham bowed down to the ground, but he laughed to himself in disbelief. "How could I become a father at the age of one hundred?" he wondered. "Besides, Sarah is ninety; how could she have a baby?"
And Abraham said to God, "Yes, may Ishmael enjoy your special blessing!"
But God replied, "Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You will name him Isaac, and I will confirm my everlasting covenant with him and his descendants.

And Abraham's faith did not weaken, even though he knew that he was too old to be a father at the age of one hundred and that Sarah, his wife, had never been able to have children.

Meanwhile, Abram married Sarai, and his brother Nahor married Milcah, the daughter of their brother Haran. (Milcah had a sister named Iscah.)
Now Sarai was not able to have any children.
