They trace the lineage of significant biblical figures and demonstrate God's faithfulness across generations. In 1 Chronicles, genealogies emphasize the continuity of God's covenant with His people, linking the past to the present and future.<p><b>Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael:</b><br>Nebaioth is identified as the firstborn son of Ishmael, Abraham's son with Hagar. This highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that Ishmael would become a great nation (<a href="/genesis/17-20.htm">Genesis 17:20</a>). Nebaioth's descendants are associated with the Nabateans, an ancient Arab people known for their trade and the city of Petra. This connection underscores the historical spread and influence of Ishmael's lineage.<p><b>then Kedar:</b><br>Kedar is another son of Ishmael and represents a significant tribe in the Arabian Peninsula. The Kedarites were known for their nomadic lifestyle and are frequently mentioned in the Bible as skilled archers and traders (<a href="/isaiah/21-16.htm">Isaiah 21:16-17</a>, <a href="/ezekiel/27-21.htm">Ezekiel 27:21</a>). Their mention in prophecy often symbolizes the broader Arab peoples and their interactions with Israel.<p><b>Adbeel:</b><br>Adbeel is less prominently featured in biblical narratives, but his inclusion in the genealogy underscores the comprehensive nature of Ishmael's descendants. Historically, Adbeel's lineage is associated with tribes in northern Arabia, contributing to the diverse tapestry of peoples in the region.<p><b>Mibsam:</b><br>Mibsam, another son of Ishmael, is part of the broader narrative of Ishmael's descendants who settled in various parts of the Arabian Peninsula. While specific historical details about Mibsam are sparse, his mention reinforces the fulfillment of God's promise to make Ishmael's descendants numerous and influential.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/ishmael.htm">Ishmael</a></b><br>The first son of Abraham, born to Hagar, Sarah's Egyptian maidservant.
