Genesis 25:12-18
International Standard Version
A Summary of Ishmael’s Life
12 Now this is what happened to Ishmael, whom Sarah’s Egyptian servant Hagar bore for Abraham. 13 Here’s a list of the names of Ishmael’s sons, recorded by their names and descendants: Nebaioth was the firstborn, followed by[a] Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These were Ishmael’s children, listed by their names according to their villages and their camps. There were a total of twelve tribal chiefs, according to their clans. 17 Ishmael lived[b] for 137 years, then he took his last breath, died, and joined his ancestors.[c] 18 His descendants[d] settled from Havilah to Shur (that’s near Egypt), all the way to Assyria, in defiance[e] of all of his relatives.
