They were the Tribes of Israel, and there were 12. Abraham had only two sons, Ishmael & Isaac. Isaac bore Jacob & Esau. Jacob later took the name Israel and had 12 sons, each of whom founded a tribe named for him. Eventually the largest land area and most successful of the tribes was named for Judah, and from that name comes the eventual name for the entire people known as Jews.

Abraham never had tribes dear. I think it was Jacob who had tribes and He had twelve tribes.
