Kedar — second son of Ishmael; by extension, a powerful nomadic Arabian tribe known for black tents and flocks
Kedar (קֵדָר) names the second son of Ishmael (Gen 25:13; 1 Chr 1:29) and the nomadic Arabian tribe descended from him in the Syrian-Arabian desert. Renowned for their black goat-hair tents, the beloved compares her dark beauty to 'the tents of Kedar' (Song 1:5), while the psalmist laments dwelling among them as hostile exile (Ps 120:5). Isaiah prophesies Kedar's decline (Isa 21:16-17) yet envisions their flocks streaming to Jerusalem (Isa 60:7). Jeremiah records Nebuchadnezzar's campaign against Kedar (Jer 49:28), and Ezekiel names them among Tyre's trading partners (Ezek 27:21).
