Who is this

Shuah is mentioned in Genesis 25:2 and 1 Chronicles 1:32 as one of the sons of Abraham and his second wife, Keturah. After the death of Sarah, Abraham took Keturah as his wife, and she bore him six sons, including Shuah. These sons were sent away with gifts to the east, away from Abraham's son Isaac, to whom he gave his main inheritance. Shuah's descendants formed a tribe, although no further details about their history or location are provided in the biblical text. The mention of Shuah and his brothers demonstrates Abraham's fulfillment of God's promise to make him the father of many nations, even though the covenant was primarily established through his son Isaac.
