- Genesis 25:2
and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Commentary on Genesis 25:22 voices
And she bare him Zimran,.... That Keturah should bear children who probably, was a young woman, is not strange; but that Abraham, whose body forty years before this was dead should now have any bore to him, may seem difficult to account for, and only can be attributed to the fresh vigour his body was endued with at the generation of Isaac; and which still continued for the fulfilment of the promise to him of the multiplication of his seed.

Zimran - Stephanus Byzantinus mentions a city in Arabia Felix called Zadram, which some suppose to have been named from this son of Keturah; but it is more likely, as Calmet observes, that all these sons of Abraham resided in Arabia Deserta; and Pliny, Hist. Nat., lib. vi., c. 28, mentions a people in that country called Zamarenians, who were probably the descendants of this person. Jokshan - Several learned men have been of opinion that this Jokshan was the same as Kachtan, the father of the Arabs.

- 1 Chronicles 1:32
The sons born to Keturah, Abraham’s concubine: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. The sons of Jokshan: Sheba and Dedan.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:321 voice
Keturah, Abrahams concubine - Abrahams pilegesh, or wife of the second rank; she was neither whore, harlot, nor concubine, in our sense of these words.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 1 Chronicles 4:11
Chelub the brother of Shuhah was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 4:112 voices
And Chelub the brother of Shuah begat Mehir,.... If Shuah is the same with Hushah, 1Ch 4:4, then Chelub was the son of Ezer: which was the father of Eshton; not the prince of a place called Eshton, as Vatablus; for it is the name of a man, the son of Mehir, and who in the next verse is said to beget sons.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
It has been conjectured from the strangeness of all the names in this list, that we have here a fragment of Canaanite record, connected with the family of the Shua, whose daughter Judah took to wife 1Ch 2:3; Gen 38:2, and whose family thus became related to the tribe of Judah.
