Keturah
The wife Abraham took after Sarah's death, who bore him six sons — Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah — the ancestors of Arabian peoples including the Midianites. Abraham gave everything he had to Isaac, but gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away eastward while he was still living, so that the inheritance was not divided.
