Old Testament
Kedar
The second son of Ishmael and the progenitor of a nomadic tribe known for their wealth and archery.
Kedar was the second son of Ishmael, becoming the patriarch of a prominent North Arabian tribe. The Kedarenes are frequently mentioned in Scripture as nomadic tent-dwellers known for their flocks, trade in livestock, and skill as archers. Their history reflects the fulfillment of the promise that Ishmael would be the father of twelve princes and a great nation.
