And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Jokshan begat Sheba. This grandson of Keturah settled in the great northern desert, and was an ancestor of the Sabean tribe which plundered Job's cattle (Job 1:15). The Sabe of Ptolemy lay east of Palestine, and was the locality in which the settlements of Jokshan and his son Sheba are to be sought. Accordingly, Bochart places the Sabeans in the northern part of Arabia, east of Palestine, and toward the Euphrates.
Dedan - his brother-had his dwelling in the forest of Arabia (Isaiah 21:13; Jeremiah 25:23; Jeremiah 49:7-8; Ezekiel 25:13), which was adjoining to the territory of Sheba.
Asshurim - were located on the mountain north of Yemen, in the district El-Asir.
Letushim, and Leummim. Of these tribes nothing certain is known.
