Abraham’s Marriage To Keturah, His Death – Sibling’s Rivalry (G-25-HBS)

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.


  • All the days, even of the best and greatest saints, are not remarkable days; some slide on silently; such were these last days of Abraham.

 

 

Genesis 25:2 KJV

And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.


  • Here is an account of Abraham’s children by Keturah, and the disposition which he made of his estate.

 

 

Genesis 25:3 KJV

And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
