Ishmaelite (2)

Ish'maelite occurs in the A.V. at Ge 37:25,27-28; Ge 29:1, as a general name of the Abrahamic peoples of the "east country"' or BENE-KEDEL SEE BENE-KEDEL (q.v.); but elsewhere (1Ch 2:17) in the strict sense of the proper ISHMAELITES (as Anglicized in Jg 8:24: Ps 83:6), with which the Heb. name corresponds.
