And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first- born of Ishmael, Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations.And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died, and was gathered unto his people.And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he abode over against all his brethren.
