Jokshan
Template:Short description Jokshan (Template:Langx, Template:Langx yoqšān) was, according to the Bible, a son of Abraham (Avraham) and his wife[1] or concubine[2] Keturah, whom he wed after the death of Sarah.[3] Jokshan had five brothers: Zimran, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah;[4] as well as two half brothers: Ishmael (Ismail) and Isaac (Ishaq). He was Keturah's second son and Abraham's fourth.
Josephus records that Abraham contrived to settle them in colonies; and they took possession of Troglodytis and the country of Arabia Felix, as far as it reaches to the Red Sea."[5]
Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan had three sons, named Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.[6]
In his "History of the Prophets and Kings", Tabari says that the wife of the North Arabian ancestor Adnan, Mahdad bint Laham, was a descendant of Jokshan (Yaqshan).
