The Descendants of Ishmael

(1 Chronicles 1:28–31)

This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham. 13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael vvv in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

16 

These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments — twelve princes of their tribes. 17 Ishmael lived a total of137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.

18 

[Ishmael’s descendants] settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur.[fn] And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.
