Some biblical scholars have dated the life of Abraham as being from 1975-1800 BC or 2008-2183 Anno Mundus (year of the world). These same scholars date the births of Jacob and Esau to 1815 BC or 2168 AM. This would then mean both boys were about 15 years old when the great Patriarch died.

Abraham was 175 yrs old when he died (Genesis 25:7). Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born (Genesis ch.16) and 100 years old when Isaac was born (Genesis ch.21).

Therefore, Ishmael was 89 years old when Abraham died, and Isaac was 75 years old when Abraham died.
