But I will also make a nation of the descendants of Hagar’s son because he is your son, too.”

This is the account of the family of Ishmael, the son of Abraham through Hagar, Sarah’s Egyptian servant.Here is a list, by their names and clans, of Ishmael’s descendants: The oldest was Nebaioth, followed by Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,Mishma, Dumah, Massa,Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.These twelve sons of Ishmael became the founders of twelve tribes named after them, listed according to the places they settled and camped.Ishmael lived for 137 years. Then he breathed his last and joined his ancestors in death.Ishmael’s descendants occupied the region from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt in the direction of Asshur. There they lived in open hostility toward all their relatives.

Then he added,“ I will give you more descendants than you can count.”And the angel also said,“ You are now pregnant and will give birth to a son. You are to name him Ishmael( which means‘ God hears’), for the Lord has heard your cry of distress.This son of yours will be a wild man, as untamed as a wild donkey! He will raise his fist against everyone, and everyone will be against him. Yes, he will live in open hostility against all his relatives.”
