Sarah and Hagar
Sarah is the mother of Issac (pbuh)
Hagar was Sarah's maid when Sarah thought she could not have children she encouraged Abraham (pbuh) to marry Hagar. She would have Abraham's first son Ishmael (pbuh)
Genesis 16:3 So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife.
Genesis 25:1 "Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah." [Abraham already had a wife (Sarah) and THEN AGAIN took a wife "Keturah" ]

Abraham was married to Sarah and into his old age he never had a child. She had a maid servant and it was a common practice to use them to get children for a barren wife.
Hagar the Egypian. It was the biggest mistake ever made.
He took her as a wife and had Ishmeal. Genesis 13: starts the story. Later Sarah did have a son Isaac, who was the ruler of the Jewish nation. the children from Ishmeal have been fighting ever since. Down to our day.
That was the only time he took the maid servant who was an older women not a child.
After Sarah died he took another wife, not a child bride but a wife.Keturah Genesis 25: from her he had about 6 sons.
Probably many daughters that are not recorded.
Those made up the nations of the middle east.

Abraham had his half sister Sarah as his wife. He had Hagar, Sarah's handmaiden, as the mother of Ishmael, and there was mention of other wives and children after Sarah died. I think this is somewhere around Genesis 18 or 21 at most. Sorry, I don't have my Bible in front of me and I promised myslef this would be the last answer.

In Genesis, Abraham was married to Sarah. Some theologians differ on if he had a second wife, Hagar. Sarah gave her to him when she thought she was barren and Hagar had Ishmael. Abraham did remarry after Sarah died, but I can't remember her name. Hope this helps.

Abraham had one wife Sarah and one concubine Hagar.
When Sarah died Abraham took another wife Ketura and had 4 more sons with her.
This can all be found in the Book of Genesis starting with chapter 12.

He had only one wife and that was Sarah. He had a child though by Hagar, the slave girl. He was named Ishmael by God. You will find Abrahams story in the book of Genesis 11.
Peace!

Abraham had one wife - Sarah and a concubine (don't remember her name)
I believe you find the story in Genisus.
