These are the names of Ishmael’s sons, by their names according to their records: ¹  Nebaioth (Ishmael’s firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

in addition to Basemath the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

So Esau went to Ishmael and married ¹  Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Abraham’s son Ishmael, along with the wives he already had.

Abraham said to God, “O that ¹  Ishmael might live before you!” ² 

These were their descendants:Ishmael’s firstborn son was Nebaioth; the others were ¹  Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These were the sons of Ishmael.

From the descendants of Pashhur: Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Elasah.

So Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son, whom Abram named Ishmael. ¹ 

(Now ¹  Abram was 86 years old ²  when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.) ³ 

This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, ¹  whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names by their settlements and their camps – twelve princes ¹  according to their clans.

Now the cistern where Ishmael threw all the dead bodies of those he had killed was a large one ¹  that King Asa had constructed as part of his defenses against King Baasha of Israel. ²  Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with dead bodies. ³ 

Then the Lord’s angel said to her, “You are now ¹  pregnant and are about to give birth ²  to a son. You are to name him Ishmael, ³  for the Lord has heard your painful groans. ⁴ 

Ishmael lived a total of ¹  137 years. He breathed his last and died; then he joined his ancestors. ² 

But as soon as they were inside the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men who were with him slaughtered them and threw their bodies ¹  in a cistern.

Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers who were with him heard about all the atrocities ¹  that Ishmael son of Nethaniah had committed.

So they took all their troops and went to fight against Ishmael son of Nethaniah. They caught up with him near the large pool ¹  at Gibeon.

When all the people that Ishmael had taken captive saw ¹  Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers with him, they were glad.

All those people that Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah.

Then Ishmael took captive all the people who were still left alive in Mizpah. This included the royal princesses ¹  and all the rest of the people in Mizpah that Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard, had put under the authority of Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Ishmael son of Nethaniah took all these people captive and set out to cross over to the Ammonites.
