About Hazarmaveth
Hazarmaveth is mentioned in the Table of Nations in Genesis and 1 Chronicles as a son of Joktan, who was a descendant of Shem, one of Noah's three sons. The Table of Nations is a genealogical record of the descendants of Noah's sons after the Great Flood, representing the known nations and peoples of the ancient world. Joktan's descendants, including Hazarmaveth, are associated with the peoples of the Arabian Peninsula. The name Hazarmaveth is believed to be preserved in the name of the region of Hadhramaut in southern Arabia. No further information is provided about Hazarmaveth in the Bible. (Gen.10.26; 1Ch.1.20).
