Context
Abraham's marriage to Keturah and the birth of additional sons, including the ancestor of the Midianites.
Genesis 25:1-4
Abraham’s sons through Keturah, including Midian—ancestor of the Midianites.
The Midianite Connection
Midian, fourth son of Keturah, became the ancestor of the Midianites. This connection to Abraham is significant: Moses would later marry into the Midianite family of Jethro, and through this marriage receive wisdom and counsel for leading Israel.
