Ishmael’s Descendants

25:12-18

12 What follows is a record of the descendants of Abraham’s son Ishmael, the son Abraham had with Sarah’s Egyptian slave woman Hagar. 13 Here is a list of the names of Ishmael’s sons, given in the order that they were born: His oldest son was Nebaioth, followed by Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedermah. 16 Those were Ishmael’s twelve sons, who became the leaders of twelve tribes that were named after them, and each tribe lived in its own towns and villages. 17 Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he took his last breath and died, and he joined his ancestors who had died before him. 18 His descendants lived throughout the area that extended from the region of Havilah to the wilderness of Shur that is east of the country of Egypt as you head from there to the city of Asshur. They lived as enemies against all their relatives.
