Commentary on Genesis 25:9

Theological / Devotional

Isaac and Ishmael buried him. As the chief heir of Abraham, Isaac is mentioned first. That Ishmael, Isaac’s older half brother, participated in the last rites for their father is evidence of a reconciliation between them (see also Genesis 35:29). The sons of Keturah are not mentioned, their distant habitat, perhaps, making it impossible for them to arrive in time for the funeral at Hebron.
