The Covering up of Zamzam
The Jurhumites, who were at that time in control of Mecca (the Meccans tolerated their rule because Ismail's second wife had been of Jurhum), were driven out of Mecca on account of the injustices they began to commit. It was said they buried the well before their departure, probably as a sort of revenge. The existence of other wells rendered the Zamzam no longer needed and it soon became forgotten.
The Leadership of Khuza'ah
Khuza'ah, an Arab tribe descended from Ismail, took over Mecca after Jurhum.
The advent of idols in Mecca
The sons of Ismail became too numerous to all live in Mecca. Many went to settle elsewhere and those who did took with them stones from the precinct of the Ka'abah to perform rites in honor of them. Through the influence of their polytheistic neighbors, idols soon came to be added to the stones. Each year brought these emigrants, bringing their idols with them, as pilgrims, which soon led to pollution of idol worship in Mecca. It was then the the sons of Isaac (the Jews) came ceased to visit the Ka'abah.
