The place
Jetur was one of the twelve sons of Ishmael, the son of Abraham (1 Chronicles 1:31). His descendants likely inhabited the region known as Ituraea in the New Testament (Luke 3:1). During the time of King David, the Hagrites, possibly descendants of Jetur, were defeated by the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh (1 Chronicles 5:19). Ituraea was a region located in the northeastern part of modern-day Israel and southern Syria. In the New Testament, Philip, one of the sons of Herod the Great, is mentioned as the tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis (Luke 3:1).
