Genesis 25:1-8

1 Abraham married again, and his new wife was Keturah.

2 She gave birth to Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan's descendants were the people of Assyria, Letush, and Leum.

4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.

5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.

6 But before Abraham died, he did give gifts to the sons of his other wives, then sent them to the East to be away from Isaac.

7 Abraham lived to be one hundred seventy-five years old.

8 He breathed his last breath and died at an old age, after a long and satisfying life.
