Ishmael is the first son of Abraham, born to him by his wife's servant Hagar. God says that Ishmael "will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers." (Genesis 16:12) God also promises that Ishmael would be the leader of his own nation, separate from his younger brother Isaac's.
