Abraham (known as Abram earlier in his life) was the father of Isaac and Ishmael. Isaac was born from his wife, Sarah, and Ishmael was born from his concubine, Hagar. Ishmael was 14 years older than Isaac.
In Islamic tradition, Ishmael is considered to be older than Isaac. Ishmael was born to Abraham and Hagar, while Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah. Isaac is considered to be the ancestor of the Israelites, while Ishmael is considered to be the ancestor of the Arabs.
Isaac and Ismael are the sons of Abraham. The descendants of Isaac are the Jewish people. The descendants of Ishmael are the Muslim people.
Ishmael was not the promised son from God. Ishmael came about because Sarah gave Abraham Hagar to produce a son thinking that they would help God out with His promise of a son. A big mistake. Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born.
Reuel is from Isaac. He was the son of Esau, who was Isaac's son.
------------------------ We only know what we have in the Bible. There are good grounds for believing that the story of Isaac and Ishmael is not historically true, but if we accept the biblical account (and the later Islamic tradition) then we accept that Isaac and Ishmael were brothers.
They were brothers.

According to the bible the first son of Abraham was Ishmael, born to hagar from him.
Isaac was the father of the Jews. Ishmael was the father of the Arabs. Both Ishmael and Isaac were sons of Abraham. See Genesis ch.16, 17 and 21.
Ishmael is the son of Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's maidservant. He also had to live in a desert with his mother because Sarah didn't want them to be with them especially after she just conceived her own son, Isaac.
Not particularly. Ishmael mocked Isaac, while Esau despised his birthright and was ungodly.
