וַיִּקַּח אַבְרָם וְנָחוֹר לָהֶם נָשִׁים שֵׁם אֵשֶׁת אַבְרָם שָׂרָי וְשֵׁם אֵשֶׁת נָחוֹר מִלְכָּה בַּת הָרָן אֲבִי מִלְכָּה וַאֲבִי יִסְכָּה. וַתְּהִי שָׂרַי עֲקָרָה אֵין לָהּ וָלָד
KJV: "And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. But Sarai was barren; she had no child"
Gen. 15:3
וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְרָם הֵן לִי לֹא נָתַתָּה זָרַע וְהִנֵּה בֶן בֵּיתִי יוֹרֵשׁ אֹתִי
KJV: "And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir"
Still, he did not take another wife.

Gen. 11:29-30 and Gen. 15:3. faithful to one woman
