  Notes	«b»http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuah Shuah«/b» («u»Hebrew «/u»: "ditch; swimming; humiliation"«u»[1]«/u»), also known as «b»Sous«/b»,«u»[2]«/u» was, according to the Bible, the sixth son of «u»Abraham «/u», the «u»patriarch «/u» of the «u»Israelites «/u», and «u»Keturah «/u» whom he wed after the death of «u»Sarah «/u».«u»[3][4]«/u» He was the youngest of Keturah's sons; the others were «u»Zimran «/u», «u»Jokshan «/u», «u»Medan «/u», «u»Midian «/u», and «u»Ishbak «/u».«u»[3]«/u» «u»Josephus «/u» writes of the brothers that "Abraham contrived to settle them in colonies; and they took possession of Troglodytis«u»[5]«/u», and the country of Arabia the Happy, as far as it reaches to the Red Sea."«u»[2]«/u» In all probability, Abraham tried to keep them apart from «u»Isaac «/u» to avoid conflict while fulfilling God's commission to spread out and inhabit the globe.«u»[6][7]«/u» But unlike his brothers, Shuah seems to have turned northward and travelled into northern «u»Mesopotamia «/u», in what is now the northern region of modern day «u»Syria «/u». As evidenced by «u»cuneiform «/u» texts, the land seems to have been named after him, being known as the land of «i»Sûchu«/i» which lies to the south of ancient «u»Hittite «/u» capital of «u»Carchemish «/u» on the «u»Euphrates «/u» river.«u»[8]«/u» The Bible also records that the character «u»Job «/u» had a friend who was a «i»Shuhite«/i».«u»[9]«/u» «b»References «u»1. ^«/u»«/b» «u»Hitchcock's Bible Dictionary: «/u» Shuah «b»2«/b». ^ «u»«sup»«b»«i»a«/u»«/sup»«/b»«/i» «u»«sup»«b»«i»b«/u»«/sup»«/b»«/i» «u»Josephus «/u», Flavius, «i»Antiquities«/i», 1.15.1 «b»3«/b». ^ «u»«sup»«b»«i»a«/u»«/sup»«/b»«/i» «u»«sup»«b»«i»b«/u»«/sup»«/b»«/i» «u»Genesis 25:1-6 «/u» «u»«b»4.^«/u»«/b» «u»1 Chronicles 1:32 «/u» «u»«b»5.^«/u»«/b» In this case the word is applied to the cave dwelling peoples of the Rift Valley «u»«b»6. ^«/u»«/b» «u»Genesis 1:27,28 «/u»; «u»Genesis 9:1 «/u» «u»«b»7. ^«/u»«/b» «u»Josephus «/u», Flavius, «i»Antiquities«/i», 1.4.1-3 «u»«b»8. ^«/u»«/b» «i»Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary«/i», Review and Herald Publishing Association (Washington, D.C., USA), 1953, p.367 «u»«b»9. ^«/u»«/b» «u»Job 2:11 «/u»; «u»Job 8:1 «/u»
