Keturah in the Bible: Genesis 25:1-6

The death of Sarah and the marriage of Isaac left Abraham alone and lonely.
He longed for companionship and found it in Keturah. According to Jewish tradition, she was a descendant of Noah's son Japheth.

An often-forgotten Biblical fact is that Abraham remarried and had children with another wife, after the death of Sarah. He married Keturah and she gave him sons, who would form their own nations. Thus, she became Keturah the mother of nations.

Keturah was a younger woman who married an aged man. Theirs was more a marriage of
convenience than of love or passion. Keturah provided Abraham companionship in his last days, but Abraham never put her on the same level as Sarah. He considered her a concubine like Hagar.
Though Abraham was 137-years-old when Sarah died, he went on to have six sons with Keturah.
