The second son of Eber is Joktan: In Arabic he is called Qahtan.
Ethnographers identified Joktan's sons with people around the Indus river?
Joktan had eight sons: Almodad, Hadoram, Hazarmaveth, Sheleph, Diklah, Abimael, Jerah and Sheba.
According to Book of Genesis, refusal of several sons of Joktan as well as Abraham and Lot, to participate in baking bricks to build the Tower of Babel, Joktan had to smuggle them out of Babel to Shinar which was an unidentified Land in Mesopotamia.
Later the tribe of Jerah or Jurhum son of Joktan raised Ismail son of Abraham,
Ismael's descendants gathered as an Arab Nation that spread in Mesopotamia between and outside the Two Rivers.
Prophet Mohammad of Islam derived from this Genetic Line.
Ismael had 12 sons:
Nabit - he controlled the land from River Euphrates to Red Sea
Qaidar - he controlled from Persia to Sinai - He is the Father of Adnan who prophet Mohammad said he was from his blood line.
Abdeel or Abdullah- He controlled North West Arabia
Mibsam, Mishma and Dumah - Lived in different locations in Arabia Desert
Massa- he is the father of Nomadic Tribe that inhabited the Northern Part of the Arabian desert towards Babylonia
Haidar, Tema, Jetur, Naphih and Kedmah whose tribes moved throughout the Arab Peninsula.
Adnan had 2 sons: Maad and Akk
Akk moved to settle in Yemen
Maad had 3 sons: Anmaar, Nazar and Eyad.
Nazar had 2 sons Mudhar and Rabi'ah who are considered the fathers of the most famous Arab Tribes that were named after their names.
At this point may be we should try to see how we to inter-relate so far, these genetic lines with Geo-politics.
