  Notes	«b»http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jokshan Jokshan«/b» ("an offense", "hardness", or "a knocking"); most probably Josephus' «b»Jazar«/b».«u»[1]«/u» According to the «u»Bible «/u» he was the second son of «u»Abraham «/u» and his concubine«u»[2]«/u» «u»Keturah «/u», whom he wed after the death of «u»Sarah «/u».«u»[3]«/u» Jokshan had five other brothers: «u»Zimran «/u», «u»Medan «/u», «u»Midian «/u», «u»Ishbak«/u» and «u»Shuah «/u» «u»[4]«/u»; as well as two half brothers: «u»Ismael «/u» and «u»Isaac «/u». Josephus records that "Abraham contrived to settle them in colonies; and they took possession of Troglodytis and the country of Arabia the Happy, as far as it reaches to the Red Sea."«u»[5]«/u» Abraham in all probability, tried to keep them apart from Isaac to avoid conflict while fulfilling God's commission to spread out and inhabit the globe.«u»[6][7][8]«/u» It is thought that Jokshan peopled part of «u»Arabia «/u», specifically «u»Yemen «/u», and to be the person whom the «u»Arabians «/u» called «u»Qahtan «/u» and acknowledged as the head of their nation. Jokshan became the father of «u»Sheba «/u» and «u»Dedan «/u». Dedan had three sons, named «u»Asshurim «/u», «u»Letushim «/u», and «u»Leummim«/u».«u»[9]«/u» «b»References «u»1. ^«/u»«/b» «u»Josephus «/u», Flavious, «i»Antiquities«/i» 1.15.1 «u»«b»2. ^«/u»«/b» «u»1Chronicles 1:32 «/u» «u»«b»3. ^«/u»«/b» «u»Genesis 25:2-6 «/u» «u»«b»4. ^«/u»«/b» «u»Genesis 25:1-6 «/u» «u»«b»5. ^«/u»«/b» Josephus, Flavious, «i»Antiquities«/i», 1.15.1 «u»«b»6. ^«/u»«/b» «u»Genesis 1:27,28 «/u» «u»«b»7. ^«/u»«/b» «u»Genesis 9:1 «/u» «u»«b»8. ^«/u»«/b» Josephus, Flavious, «i»Antiquities«/i», 1.4.1-3 «u»«b»9. ^«/u»«/b» «u»Genesis 25:3 «/u» «tab»«u»Calmet, Augustin «/u» (1837). «i»Calmet's Dictionary of the Holy Bible«/i».
