About this place
Jetur was one of the twelve sons of Ishmael, the son of Abraham (1Ch.1.31). His descendants likely inhabited the region known as Ituraea in the New Testament (Luke 3:1). During the time of King David, the Hagrites, possibly descendants of Jetur, were defeated by the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh (1Ch.5.19). Ituraea was a region located in the northeastern part of modern-day Israel and southern Syria. In the New Testament, Philip, one of the sons of Herod the Great, is mentioned as the tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis (Luke 3:1).
