Abraham’s wife after Sarah’s death, who bore him six sons—Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. Through Keturah, Abraham became the ancestor of several Arabian and Midianite peoples. Abraham gave gifts to Keturah’s sons and sent them eastward, reserving the covenant inheritance for Isaac. Her inclusion in Scripture demonstrates Abraham’s continued vitality and the vast reach of his descendants.
