Nodab, also known as Kedemah, was a son of Ishmael and brother to eleven others, mentioned first in Genesis 25:15 and also in 1 Chronicles 5:19 as an ethnic group living east of the Jordan River.
About Nodab (Kedemah)
Forefather of an Arabian tribe that joined forces with the Hagarites to fight against the tribes of Israel who were living east of the Jordan (1 Chr 5:19). Though not included in the list of Ishmael’s sons (cf. Gn 25:13–15), he was perhaps a distant relation.
