This Sheba entry refers to the son of Joktan, likely connected with the Sabean world, not to the Cushite or Keturah-descended figures of the same name. The page preserves him as an ancestral name in the table of nations. First appears in Gen 10:28.1
AI summary: This Sheba matters because his cross references place him in the Joktanite line, one of the branches through which Genesis extends its account of nations across Arabia and beyond. The repetition of the name in multiple family streams makes this entry important for genealogical precision. Taken together, the material presents this Sheba as a Joktanite ancestral marker within the Bible's ordered world map.1
