From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science

Jetur (Hebrew: יטור, Yeṭūr; "encircled") was the tenth of the twelve sons of Ishmael, first mentioned in Genesis 25:15.

Descendants

He was the progenitor of the Ituraeans, who were known to the Greeks as the Itouraioi (Ἰτουραῖοι). The Ituraeans are mentioned in the works of Cassius Dio, Josephus, Pliny, Strabo and others; and they were known to the Roman authorities as a notorious tribe of robbers. The Ituraeans disappeared as a distinct group in the 7^th century AD however, some believe that the modern Druze are the descendants of the Ituraeans. The Druze perpetrated a massacre of Lebanese Christians in 1860 AD.
