Ishmaelite — a gentilic adjective denoting descendants of Ishmael or members of the Ishmaelite trading confederation.
This gentilic adjective derives from the proper name Ishmael and designates members of the Ishmaelite tribal group. The Ishmaelites appear most memorably as the caravan traders who purchased Joseph from his brothers and carried him to Egypt (Gen 37:25-28; 39:1), an episode that shaped all of Israel's subsequent history. Judges 8:24 identifies the Midianites defeated by Gideon as having Ishmaelite connections. In the genealogies, David's sister Abigail married 'Jether the Ishmaelite' (1 Chr 2:17), and an Ishmaelite overseer managed the royal camels (1 Chr 27:30). Psalm 83:7 lists the Ishmaelites among hostile confederates against Israel.
