Medan (son of Abraham)

According to the Bible, Medan (Hebrew: מְדָן Məḏān "contention; to twist, conflict"); also spelt Madan^[1] was the third son of Abraham, the patriarch of the Israelites, and Keturah whom he wed after the death of Sarah.^[2]^[3] Medan had five brothers, Zimran, Jokshan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.^[4]

Josephus tells us that "Abraham contrived to settle them in colonies; and they took possession of Troglodytis and the country of Arabia Felix (Arabia the Happy), as far as it reaches to the Red Sea."^[5] Little else is known about him.^[6]

There is no known connection to the Madan people of Iran and Iraq.
