Kingdoms of Yishmael II

7.Mas’a ,in Hebrew meaning tribute or burden ,this Arabian tribe living in the northern Arabian desert towards Babylonia.

Mas’a

The records of Tiglath Pileser III mention the inhabitants of Mas’a and Tema, who paid him tribute. On the summit of Jebal Ghunaym, located about 14 kilometers south of Tayma, archeologists Winnett and Reed discovered some graffiti script which mentions the tribe Massa in connection with Dedan and Nebayot. This script refers to a war against Dedan, a war against Nabayat, and the war against Massaa. Therefore, these tribes appear to have been close to each other at the time. The tribe of Massa is possibly connected to the Masanoi of North Arabia as mentioned by Ptolemy, (Geography v18, 2).

Those holding to the theory that the Children of Israel crossed the Red Sea into Arabia identify El Maser as the place where the Israelites murmured (Exodus 17:7, Deut. 6:16, 9:22, 33:8).

8.Chadad or Hadad ,this meaning in Hebrew and Arabic most likely a blacksmith.And could also relate to Haddu ,a Sumerian rain and storm god.

Hadad

“Some historians speculate that this tribe may have become known as the Harar or the Hararina people who lived near the mountains northwest of Palmyra. It is also interesting to notice that there is a Hadad tribe in Arabia. Most of the Hadads are now Christians and are located throughout the Levant (for example: Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine). The modern day Hadadine tribe is also related.”

Could it relate to modern Saudi Arabian city Hafar ,maybe but just speculation.

9.Teima ,meaning south country in Hebrew and Arabic and is likely modern Saudi city Tayma.

“Tayma /ˈtaɪmə/ (Taymanitic: 𐪉𐪃𐪒, vocalized as: Taymāʾ;^[1] Arabic: تيماء, romanized: Taymāʾ) or Tema (Hebrew: תֵּימָן Tēmān (Habakkuk 3:3) is a large oasis with a long history of settlement, located in northwestern Saudi Arabia at the point where the trade route between Medina and Dumah (al-Jawf) begins to cross the Nafud desert. Tayma is located 264 km (164 mi) southeast of the city of Tabuk, and about 400 km (250 mi) north of Medina.^[2][3] It is located in the western part of al-Nafud.”

Tema

Teyma is usually associated with the ancient oasis of Tayma, located northeast of the Hijaz district, on the trade route between Tathrib (Medina) and Dumah. Between Tayma and Dumah is the famous Nafud desert. It is thought that the present city of Tayma at the southwestern end of the great Nafud desert is built on the remains of the ancient oasis by the same name.

Tiglath Pileser III received tributes from Tayma, as well as from other Arabian oases. The Assyrians recorded how a coalition headed by Samsi, queen of the Arabs, was defeated. The coalition was made up of Massaa, the city of Tayma, the tribes of Saba, Hajappa, Badana, Hatti, and Idiba’il, which lay far to the west. Once defeated, these tribes had to send tribute of gold, silver, camels, and spices of all kinds.

The Assyrian king Sennacherib named one of his gates in the great city of Nineveh as the Desert Gate, and records that “the gifts of the Sumu’anite and the Teymeite enter through it.” From this we can recognize Teyma was regarded as an important place.

Around 552 BC Nabonidus (555-539 BC) king of Babylon and father of biblical Belshazzar (Daniel 7:1) made the city of Tayma his residence and spent ten of the sixteen years of his reign there.

During the Achaemenid period, Tayma probably became a seat of one of the Persian emperors. However, by the first century BC, the Nabataeans began to dominate Tayma, and it slowly became a part of their trading empire.

Isaiah 21:13-14 invites the people of Tayma to provide water and food for their fugitive countrymen, in an apparent allusion to Tiglath Pileser’s invasion of North Arabia in 738 BC. Jeremiah 25:23 is a prophecy against the oasis city. In Job 6:19-20, Job laments his fall from wealth, and comments that the troops of Tema and the armies of Sheba (Yemen) had hoped for plunder, but now Job had nothing.

10.Jetur

“je’-tur (yeTur, meaning uncertain): a “son” of Ishmael (Ge 25:15 parallel 1Ch 1:31); against this clan the two and a half tribes warred (1Ch 5:18 f); they are the Itureans of New Testament times.”

Could this be modern day Jeddah in Saudi Arabia,Maybe ,but doubtful,you never know.Other than some sources say Jetur is east of Jordan not much else is known.

11.Nafish

Naphish (once Nephish in the King James Version) is one of the sons of Ishmael. After him an Ishmaelite tribe is named.^[25] The name נפיש in Hebrew means “refreshed”.^[26] His tribe is listed with Jetur, and is assumed to have resided nearby and lived a nomadic, animal-herding lifestyle in sparsely populated land east of the Israelites.^[27] Psalm 83,^[28][29] however lists these as Hagarites separately from the other ten tribes which lived more southernly.

12.Kedmah meaning eastward ,no other information available.

We are now done with the Princes of Yishmael,Probably everyone knows that the children of Lot (Avraham’s cousin) through incestuous relationship with his daughters.Fathered Moab and Ben Ami who are the Princes of Moab and Ammon and are the tribes of modern day Jordan ,Amman is Jordan’s modern capital.

Who were the Hagarite’s ,the theoretical children that Hagar the maid and wife of Abraham who gave birth to Yishmael but may have had other children after leaving Abraham.

An Arab tribe, or confederation of tribes (1 Chronicles 5:10,19,20 the King James Version “Hagarites”; 1 Chronicles 27:31 the King James Version “Hagerite”; Psalms 83:6 “Hagarenes”), against which the Reubenites fought in the days of Saul. In Genesis 25:12-18 are recorded the descendants, “generations,” of Ishmael, “whom Hagar the Egyptian Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham.” Two, and possibly three, of these tribes, Jetur, Naphish and Kedemah (25:15), appear to be identical with the 3 tribes whom the Reubenites and the other Israelite tribes East of the Jordan conquered and dispossessed (1 Chronicles 5). The correspondence of names in Ge and 1Ch leaves little doubt that “Hagrite” is a generic term roughly synonymous with “Ishmaelite,” designating the irregular and shifting line of desert tribes stretching along the East and South of Palestine. Those “East of Gilead,” “Jetur, Naphish and Nodah,” were overcome by Reuben: “The Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them. …. And they took away their cattle …. they dwelt in their stead until the captivity” (1 Chronicles 5:20-22).

These along with other Arab tribes are mentioned in the inscriptions of Tiglath-pileser III (745-727 BC). Jetur gave his name to the Itureans of Roman times, who were famed soldiers dwelling in Anti-Libanus. Compare Curtis, Commentary on Chronicles; Skinner, “Gen,” ICC, in the place cited.

Edward Mack

The Hagrites (also spelled Hagarite or Hagerite, and called Hagarenes, Agarenes, and sons of Agar) were associated with the Ishmaelites mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, the inhabitants of the regions of Jetur, Naphish and Nodab lying east of Gilead.^[1] Their name is understood to be related to that of the biblical Hagar. They lived a nomadic, animal-herding lifestyle in sparsely populated land east of the Israelites.^[2]

According to First Chronicles 5:18-22, the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh in Gilead brought 44,760 to battle with the Hagrites and defeated them. Through the battle, the Reubenites captured the Hagrite land as well as 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys. Finally, the Reubenites captured 100,000 Hagrites, men, women and children and held them as captives. According to Theodor Nöldeke, these numbers are “enormously exaggerated”.^[2]

King David of Israel made Jazziz the Hagrite steward of his flocks, but the Hagrites are not mentioned in the historical books as a distinct people after the reign of King David.

In Psalms 83:6, the Hagrites are included in a list of ten peoples that form a coalition to attack Israel for the purpose of wiping it off the map. Because the war described in Psalm 83 has not yet occurred historically, it is often designated a prophetic psalm describing future events

I think that is it ,any other question please leave then in comments.
