EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ These were all Ishmael's sons. Their names became the names of 12 groups of people. They separated and lived in their own lands. Ishmael's sons ruled over the 12 groups of people. ¹⁷ Ishmael lived for 137 years then he died. He joined his ancestors who had died before him. ¹⁸ Ishmael's descendants lived in the lands from Havilah to Shur. These are near Egypt, towards Asshur. They were always at war with each other.^[a]
