-Ishmael.was the beginning of the Arab nations:.1Chronicles 1:28. His name means 'Creator hears'. He was.Abraham's eldest son, by Hagar, Abraham's handmaid and concubine:.Genesis 16:15; 17:23.

Circa was B.C., now known as B.C.E. 1910 and that many years before Christ came in the form of Emmanuel.

From Ishmael came the Ishmaelites, his descendants, who spread over the wide desert spaces of Northern Arabia from the Red Sea to the Euphrates river.(map):.Genesis 37:25,27,28; 39:1. 

And so began the Arab nations. They had many problems as they turned into large nations:.Genesis 16:11,12.

Adam Clarke's Commentary:."From the beginning to the present day they have maintained their independency and God preserves them as a lasting monument of his providential care. The country which these free descendants of Ishmael may be properly said to possess, stretches from Aleppo to the Arabian Sea and from Egypt to the Persian Gulf, a tract of land not less than 1800 miles in length, by 900 in breadth."
