Genesis 16:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. Then she saw that she had conceived, so her mistress became [a]contemptible in her sight. 5 And Sarai said to Abram, “(A)May the violence done to me be upon you. I gave my servant-woman into your [b]embrace, but she saw that she had conceived, so I became [c]contemptible in her [d]sight. (B)May Yahweh judge between [e]you and me.” 6 But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your servant-woman is in your [f]hand; do to her what is good in your [g]sight.” So Sarai afflicted her, and (C)she fled from her presence.

4 He slept with Hagar,(A) and she conceived.
When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.(B) 5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.”(C)
6 “Your slave is in your hands,(D)” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai mistreated(E) Hagar; so she fled from her.
