Keturah
Generation 1 from Adam
Biography
A woman who became Abraham's wife after Sarah's death. She bore Abraham six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. Abraham gave gifts to these sons but sent them away from Isaac to the east country, ensuring Isaac would be his sole heir of the covenant promise.
Keturah's sons became the ancestors of various Arabian tribes, including the Midianites, demonstrating the fulfillment of God's promise to make Abraham a father of many nations beyond the covenant line through Isaac.
