Family Tree: Ishmael

Generation 2 from Adam

Biography

The son of Abraham through Hagar, Sarah's Egyptian maidservant. Born when Abraham was 86, Ishmael was not the child of promise. After Isaac's birth, Sarah demanded Hagar and Ishmael be sent away. God promised to make Ishmael a great nation, and he became the father of twelve princes. Ishmael lived 137 years.

Biblical Significance

Ishmael represents works of the flesh and human effort to fulfill God's promises. His conflict with Isaac illustrates the opposition between the flesh and the Spirit.
