Hagarenes in Fausset's Bible Dictionary
E. of Israel. Fell by the hand of Reuben, Gad, and half
Manasseh, in the time of Saul; these occupied their tents and
land in eastern Gilead (1 Chronicles 5:10; 1 Chronicles 5:18-
20). Jetur, Nephish, and Nodab, Hagarites, are mentioned as
"delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for
they cried to God in the battle (and they were helped against
them), and He was entreated of them; because they put their
trust in Him. And they took away their cattle ... camels ...
sheep ... donkeys ... for there fell down many slain, because
the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads, until the
captivity."
The spoil shows their wealth as nomadic tribes. In
Psalm 83:6-8 "the tabernacles of the Hagarenes" are mentioned
as distinct from the "Ishmaelites," with whom and Moab, Gebal,
Ammon, Amalek, Philistia, Tyre, and Assur, they confederated
to invade suddenly Jehoshaphat's land and take it in
possession. The Hagarenes probably were named not from
Ishmael's mother Hagar directly, but from a district or town
so-called; possibly now Hejer, capital and subdivision of the
province el-Bahreyn in N.E. Arabia, on the Persian gulf.
