Genesis 25:12-18

International Children’s Bible

¹² This is the family history of Ishmael, Abraham’s son. (Hagar, Sarah’s Egyptian servant, was Ishmael’s mother.) ¹³ These are the names of Ishmael’s sons in the order they were born. The first son was Nebaioth. Then came Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, ¹⁴ Mishma, Dumah, Massa, ¹⁵ Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedemah. ¹⁶ These were Ishmael’s sons. And these are the names of the tribal leaders. They are listed according to their settlements and camps. ¹⁷ Ishmael lived 137 years. Then he breathed his last breath and died. ¹⁸ Ishmael’s descendants lived from Havilah to Shur. This is east of Egypt stretching toward Assyria. Ishmael’s descendants often attacked the descendants of his brothers.
