Two men named Shuah appear in genealogies: one was a son Abraham had by his second wife Keturah, whose descendants settled in Arabia and gave their name to the “Shuhites,” the people of Job's friend Bildad (Genesis 25:2; 1 Chronicles 1:32); the other is a much briefer mention in the tribe of Judah's genealogy as father of Chelub (1 Chronicles 4:11). The two are unrelated apart from sharing a name.
