Genesis 25:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ All of them were Ishmael’s sons. They were rulers of 12 tribes. They all lived in their own settlements and camps.

¹⁷ Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he took his last breath and died. He joined the members of his family who had already died. ¹⁸ His children settled in the area between Havilah and Shur. It was near the eastern border of Egypt, as you go toward Ashur. Ishmael’s children weren’t friendly toward any of the tribes related to them.
