Exegesis
The construct shem-beno {שֶׁם־בְּנוֹ | šēm-bə-nô} ‘name of his son’ plus the relative asher-yaldah {אֲשֶׁר־יָלְדָה | ʾăšer-yālədāh} ‘whom she bore’ Hagar functions as a restrictive modifier.
In context — Genesis 16:15
Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son whom Hagar had borne.
