a -bim´a -el , ab -i -mā´el ( אבימאל , 'ăbhı̄mā'ēl , "my father is God," or "God is father"): The ninth of the thirteen sons of Joktan, who was descendant of Shem, and son of Eber, and brother of Peleg in whose days the earth was divided ( Genesis 10:25-29 ; 1 Chronicles 1:19-23 ). Like some of the other names in this list, the name is linguistically south Arabian, and the tribes indicated are south Arabians.

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [9]
(Heb. Abimael', אֲבַימָאֵל , father of Mael; Sept. Ἀβιμαέλ , Ἀβιμιεήλ , Josephus Ἀβιμάηλος ), one of the sons of Joktan in Arabia ( Genesis 10:28 ; 1 Chronicles 1:22 ). B.C. post 2414. (See Arabia). He was probably the father or founder of an Arabian tribe called Maal ( מָאֵל , of unknown origin), a trace of which Bochart (Phaleg, 2:24) discovers in Theophrastus (Hist. Plant. 9:4), where the name Mali ( Μάλι ) occurs as that of a spice-bearing region. Perhaps the same is indicated in Eratosthenes (ap. Strabo, 16:1112) and Eustathius (ad Dionys. Periegetes, p. 288, ed. Bernhardy) by the Mincei ( Μειναῖ oi). So Diodorus Siculus (3, 42); but Ptolemy (6:7) distinguishes the Manitae ( Μανῖται ) from these, and at the same time refers to a village called Manialia ( Μάμαλα κώμη ) on the shore of the Red Sea. Hence Schneider proposes to read Mamali (Μαμάλι ) in the above passage of Theophrastus; perhaps we should rather read Mani ( Μάνι ), a natural interchange of liquids; and then we may compare a place mentioned by Abulfeda (Arabia, ed. Gaguier, p. 3, 42), called Mlinay, 3 miles from Mecca (Michaelis, Spicileg. 2:179 sq.).
