Context: • Mibsam, Son of Ishmael: Mibsam is listed as one of the twelve sons of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. He is mentioned in the genealogical records of Ishmael's descendants. In Genesis 25:13, the Berean Standard Bible states: "These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam."
• Mibsam, Descendant of Simeon: Another individual named Mibsam is noted as a descendant of Simeon, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This Mibsam is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Simeon. In 1 Chronicles 4:25, the Berean Standard Bible records: "Shallum was his son, Mibsam his son, and Mishma his son."

The name Mibsam, meaning "sweet odor," may reflect a characteristic or hoped-for quality of the individual or family line. The use of the name in different genealogical contexts highlights the common practice of naming individuals after desirable traits or qualities.
