This Sheba entry refers to the son of Raamah in the Cushite branch of the table of nations, not to the son of Jokshan or the son of Joktan. The page uses a person-style entry for an ancestral name later associated with a people and region. First appears in Gen 10:7.1
AI summary: This Sheba matters because his cross references place him within the line descending from Cush through Raamah, giving one of the Bible's well-known regional names a distinct genealogical setting. The entry helps show that similar names can arise in separate ancestral streams across the nations lists. Taken together, the material presents this Sheba as a Cushite-branch ancestral marker in Scripture's map of peoples.1
