Genesis 25 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

God blesses Isaac, The descendants of Ishmael.

Ishmael had twelve sons, whose families became distinct tribes. They peopled a very large country that lay between Egypt and Assyria, called Arabia. The number and strength of this family were the fruit of the promise, made to Hagar and to Abraham, concerning Ishmael. (Ge 25:19-26)
