Hagarene

Easton's Bible Dictionary

In the reign of Saul a great war was waged between the trans-Jordanic tribes and the Hagarites ( 1 Chronicles 5 ), who were overcome in battle. A great booty was captured by the two tribes and a half, and they took possession of the land of the Hagarites.

Subsequently the "Hagarenes," still residing in the land on the east of Jordan, entered into a conspiracy against Israel (Compare  Psalm 83:6 ). They are distinguished from the Ishmaelites.
