Kedar

People's Dictionary of the Bible

  Kedar (kç'dar), dark-skinned. Second son of Ishmael. Genesis 25:13. From him descended the leading tribes of Arabia and of the land east of Palestine. They and the country bear the name of Kedar. Isaiah 21:16; Jeremiah 49:28. They were nomads, living in black hair-tents, Song of Solomon 1:5, as the modern Bedouins do, or in villages, Isaiah 42:11, and were rich in flocks and herds, and noted as archers and mighty men.
