Old Testament
Kedemah
Kedemah was the youngest son of Ishmael and a tribal leader among the Ishmaelite clans.
Kedemah is listed in the genealogies of Genesis 25 and 1 Chronicles 1 as the twelfth and final son of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. As a son of Ishmael, he represents one of the twelve tribal princes who descended from Abraham through his firstborn son. His inclusion in the biblical record serves to document the fulfillment of the promise that Ishmael would become the father of twelve princes.
