ABRAHAM MARRIES KETURAH
Abraham’s sons through Keturah (a concubine, 1 Chr. 1:32). Verse 6 seems to confirm this. Thus she was a lesser wife of lower status than Sarah, one who did not enjoy the full privileges of a wife in the home, became the progenitors of various Arab tribes to the east of Canaan.
Once again God records marital irregularities that He never approved.
Genesis 25:1-4 KJV
[1] Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
[2] And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
[3] And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
[4] And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Genesis 25:1 KJV
Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

Genesis 25:2 KJV
And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
