Nomadic tribe of Arabia, against which the two and a half tribes east of the Jordan waged war.
The large spoils captured show that it was a very rich tribe (1 Chron. 5:10, 19-22; Ps. 83:6). The origin of this name is unknown. In the aforementioned psalm they are distinguished from the Ishmaelites. An administrator of David was from this nation (1 Chron. 27:31).
