Tarshish
Tarshish was one of the sons of Javan. The children of Tarshish came against the sons of Ishmael and made war with them, spoiling the Ishmaelites for a long time. The children of Ishmael were small in number and could not prevail over the children of Tarshish, so they were sorely oppressed and sought help from the king of Egypt.
