Context of Genesis 25:11

9His sons, Isaac and Ishmael, buried his body in the cave of Machpelah. That was near Mamre. The cave is in the field that belonged to Zohar's son, Ephron. He was a Hittite. 10Abraham had bought the field from the Hittites. So they buried Abraham there. It was in the cave where his wife, Sarah, had also been buried. After Abraham's death, God blessed his son, Isaac. Isaac was living near Beer Lahai Roi. 12This is the report about Abraham's son, Ishmael, and his family. Sarah's female servant gave birth to Ishmael. Her name was Hagar. She was from Egypt. 13These are the names of Ishmael's sons. The list starts from the firstborn son and ends with the last son. Nebaioth was the first son of Ishmael. Then there were Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11God blessed his son Isaac - The peculiar blessings and influences by which Abraham had been distinguished now rested upon Isaac; but how little do we hear in him of the work of faith, the patience of hope, and the labor of love!
