DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM AND ALL YOUR CONVERTS, WHY ALL THIS FIGHTING?
Somebody forgot to tell the converts where it all started and in your hateful religious thoughts, scheming, actions etceteras remember where you came from or with no ill intentions meant where the true descendants of your adopted religion(s) came from and for GODS sake stop fighting!!!!!!- Brian.
Abraham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abraham (Hebrew: אַבְרָהָם, Standard Avraham Ashkenazi Avrohom or Avruhom Tiberian ʾAḇrāhām ; Arabic: ابراهيم, Ibrāhīm ; Ge'ez: አብርሃም, ʾAbrəham) is regarded as the founding patriarch of the Israelites and of the Nabataean people in Jewish, Christian and Islamic tradition. In that tradition, Abraham is the great spiritual father of many peoples. Abraham was the son of Terah and the grandson of Nahor. Terah had two wives. Abraham and his brother, Nahor, were the sons of Terah by one wife, and Sarah and her brother, Haran, were offspring of Terah by his other wife, a daughter of the semitic chief, Haran. The city of Haran was named after this chief. Terah's first born son was Haran, but he did not live to inherit Terah's property and office as chief. The next oldest son was Nahor. Nahor inherited his father's territory in Mesopotamia and Abraham was brought by God from Mesopotamia to the land of Canaan. There he entered into a covenant: in exchange for sole recognition of Yahweh as supreme universal authority, Abraham will be blessed through innumerable progeny. His life as narrated in the book of Genesis (chapters 11–25) reflects various traditions.
His original name was Abram (Hebrew: אַבְרָם, Standard Avram Tiberian ʾAḇrām) meaning either "exalted father" or "[my] father is exalted" (compare Abiram). Later in life he went by the name Abraham (see retroactive nomenclature), often glossed as av hamon (goyim) "father of many (nations)" per Genesis 17:5, although it does not have any literal meaning in Hebrew.[1]
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are sometimes referred to as the "Abrahamic religions", because of the role Abraham plays in their holy books and beliefs. In the Torah and the Qur'an, Abraham is described as a patriarch blessed by God (Genesis 17:4-5). In the Jewish tradition, he is called Avraham Avinu or "Abraham, our Father". God promised Abraham that through his offspring, all the nations of the world will come to be blessed (Genesis 12:3), interpreted in Christian tradition as a reference to Christ. Jews, Christians, and Muslims consider him father of the people of Israel through his son Isaac (cf. Exodus 6:3, Exodus 32:13). For Muslims, he is a prophet of Islam and the ancestor of Muhammad through his other son Ishmael. By his second wife, Keturah, (Genesis 25) Abraham is also a progeniture of the semitic tribes of the Negev who trace their descent from their common ancestor Sheba (Genesis 10:28). Consistent with the kinship pattern revealed in Genesis 4 and 5, Abraham married two wives. Sarah was his half-sister and Keturah was a patrilineal parallel cousin.

My take from different sources is the Kenturah was the third wife of Abraham and bore him 6 other sons and Ishmael was not one of them, he was was the son of Hagar, an Egyptian companion of Sarai, Abrahams wife (or Sarah after she changed her name).
