Genesis 25:18

DESCENDANTS OF ISHMAEL. Before passing to the line of the promised seed, the historian gives a brief notice of Ishmael, to show that the promises respecting that son of Abraham were fulfilled—first, in the greatness of his posterity (compare Genesis 17:20); and, secondly, in their independence. (Genesis 25:12-18)

he died—rather, "it [their lot] fell" in the presence of his brethren (compare Genesis 16:12).
