“Depression”

Summary

A son of Abraham by Keturah whose descendants likely settled in Arabia.

☩Son of Abraham

Shuah was the last of six sons born to Abraham by his concubine Keturah after Sarah's death. Like his brothers, he was sent away from Isaac with gifts and settled in 'the east country.' His descendants may have given their name to a region, as Job's friend Bildad is called 'the Shuhite,' possibly indicating descent from Shuah.

☩Brother of Chelub

Another Shuah (or Shuchah) was a brother (some manuscripts say son) of Chelub among the descendants of Judah.
