Abraham’s first son, thru adultery, was Ishmael - father of the Islamic line.
Abraham’s first son thru marriage was Isaac - father of the Jewish (and hence Cheistian) line. Question is whether the bastard is disqualified of ancestral headship. And hence confusion reigns.
A detailed reading of the WORD will yield: Ishmael was the son of Abram not Abraham.
Sara did not trust YHvH and gave HaGar (the foreigner) to Abram.
But YHvH breathed His breath (Ru'ach) (the letter heh) into him and
changed Abram's name, because he became righteous.
YHvH also changed Sara to Sarah by breathing His Breath into her,
Sarah then conceived Isaac.
Abraham's only son.

If I recall he is referred to that way three times in Genesis.
Pretty clear on this one.
