Methuselah was a descendant of Adam who lived to be 969 years old, according to the Bible. Methuselah is not a major figure in the Bible; he is mentioned only in passing in Genesis, 1 Chronicles 1:3, and Luke 3:37.
Ishmael lived to be 137 years old, Gen 25:17. Most chronologies have Jacob being about 91 years when Joseph was born and therefore about 84 years when he first departed for Padan Aram. Ishmael was born when Abraham was 86 yrs (Gen 16:17). Isaac 14 yrs later (Gen 17:17).
