From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ishmael       God hears. (1.) Abraham's eldest son, by Hagar the concubine       (Gen. 16:15; 17:23). He was born at Mamre, when Abraham was       eighty-six years of age, eleven years after his arrival in       Canaan (16:3; 21:5). At the age of thirteen he was circumcised       (17:25). He grew up a true child of the desert, wild and       wayward. On the occasion of the weaning of Isaac his rude and       wayward spirit broke out in expressions of insult and mockery       (21:9, 10); and Sarah, discovering this, said to Abraham, "Expel       this slave and her son." Influenced by a divine admonition,       Abraham dismissed Hagar and her son with no more than a skin of       water and some bread. The narrative describing this act is one       of the most beautiful and touching incidents of patriarchal life       (Gen. 21:14-16). (See {HAGAR}.)                Ishmael settled in the land of Paran, a region lying between       Canaan and the mountains of Sinai; and "God was with him, and he       became a great archer" (Gen. 21:9-21). He became a great desert       chief, but of his history little is recorded. He was about       ninety years of age when his father Abraham died, in connection       with whose burial he once more for a moment reappears. On this       occasion the two brothers met after being long separated. "Isaac       with his hundreds of household slaves, Ishmael with his troops       of wild retainers and half-savage allies, in all the state of a       Bedouin prince, gathered before the cave of Machpelah, in the       midst of the men of Heth, to pay the last duties to the 'father       of the faithful,' would make a notable subject for an artist"       (Gen. 25:9). Of the after events of his life but little is       known. He died at the age of one hundred and thirty-seven years,       but where and when are unknown (25:17). He had twelve sons, who       became the founders of so many Arab tribes or colonies, the       Ishmaelites, who spread over the wide desert spaces of Northern       Arabia from the Red Sea to the Euphrates (Gen. 37:25, 27, 28;       39:1), "their hand against every man, and every man's hand       against them."                (2.) The son of Nethaniah, "of the seed royal" (Jer. 40:8,       15). He plotted against Gedaliah, and treacherously put him and       others to death. He carried off many captives, "and departed to       go over to the Ammonites."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ishmeelites       (Gen. 37:28; 39:1, A.V.) should be "Ishmaelites," as in the       Revised Version.
