New Catholic Bible
16 These are the Ishmaelites and these are their names by their towns and their camps. They were twelve princes, each a prince of his own tribe. 17 Ishmael lived for one hundred and seven years. He then died and was reunited with his ancestors. 18 They lived between Havilah and Shur (which lies on the side of the border of Egypt in the direction of Asshur), and each of them held his own[a] against all his kin.
