Genesis 25:12-16
Gen 16:10-15, Gen 17:20, Gen 21:13; Ps 83:6 the names 1Chr 1:29-31 Nebajoth From Nebajoth sprang the Nabatheans, who inhabited Arabia Petraea; from Kedar, the Cedreans, who dwelt near the Nabatheans; and from Jetur, the Itureans, who inhabited a small tract of country east of Jordan, which afterwards belonged to Manasseh. Gen 36:3; Isa 60:7 Kedar Ps 120:5; Song 1:5; Isa 21:16-17, Isa 42:11 Dumah Isa 21:11, Isa 21:16 Hadar or, Hadad, More than 300 manuscripts and printed editions read Hadad, as in 1Chr 1:30. Tema 1Chr 5:19; Job 2:11 Naphish These are evidently the same people mentioned in 1Chr 5:19, who, with the Itureans, assisted the Hagarenes against the Israelites, but were overcome by the two tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. castles The word tiroth, rendered "castles," is supposed by some to denote here "towers," fortified rocks, or mountain-tops, and fastnesses of various kinds in woods and hilly countries; but it rather means, "shepherds' cots," surrounded by sufficient enclosures to prevent the cattle from straying, as the cognate Syriac word teyaro, and Arabic tawar, signify "a sheep-fold." twelve Gen 17:20, Gen 17:23
