Who he was

Mibsam is mentioned in the genealogies of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, in the books of Genesis and 1 Chronicles (Genesis 25:13; 1 Chronicles 1:29). He was one of the twelve sons of Ishmael, who were described as "princes according to their nations" (Genesis 25:16). The listing of Ishmael's sons demonstrates the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that He would make Ishmael fruitful and multiply him exceedingly (Genesis 17:20).
