Usage: Adbeel is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a personal name.

Context: Adbeel is mentioned in the genealogical records of the Book of Genesis. He is identified as one of the twelve sons of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. Adbeel is listed as the third son of Ishmael, making him a grandson of Abraham. The descendants of Adbeel are considered part of the Ishmaelite tribes, which were known to inhabit regions in the northern Arabian Peninsula. The name Adbeel reflects a cultural and religious significance, as it combines elements of human emotion and divine association, suggesting a relationship with God characterized by discipline or grief.

In Genesis 25:13 (BSB), the text states: "These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam." This passage situates Adbeel within the broader narrative of the descendants of Abraham, highlighting the fulfillment of God's promise to make Ishmael a great nation.

The mention of Adbeel in the genealogical records underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, as well as the diverse peoples that emerged from the Abrahamic line. While specific details about Adbeel's life and the activities of his descendants are not extensively documented in the biblical text, his inclusion in the genealogy signifies his role in the unfolding story of God's covenantal relationships with humanity.
