Okay ... but, if Ishmael was Abraham's son, he and Isaac still are brothers, right?

Yes, Ishmael and Isaac are half-brothers...same father, different mothers.

And this is part of the promise to Hagar from God concerning Ishmael:

"I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they shall be too many to count...

And he will be a wild donkey of a man,

His hand will be against everyone,

And everyone's hand will be against him;

And he will live to the east of his brothers." Genesis 16:9-12.
