Commentary
4 notes on this verseHadar - This name should be read Hadad as in 1Ch 1:30. This reading is supported by more than three hundred MSS., versions, and printed editions. See Clarke at Gen 25:18 (note). Tema - Supposed to be a place in Arabia Deserta, the same of which Job speaks, Job 6:19. Jetur - From whom came the Itureans, who occupied a small tract of country beyond Jordan, which was afterwards possessed by the half-tribe of Manasseh.
This site's exposition
This is the account of Abraham's son Ishmael
on Genesis 25:12-16
Ishmael gets a toledot of his own, the Hebrew heading that opens the account of a man's line, and Missler reads the whole book by its eleven headings. Twelve princes are named, as God promised Abraham at 17:20. The branch outside the covenant closes before the chosen line goes on, as Cain's did before Seth.
