Shuah

Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary

This name was common in Israel to both sons and daughters. We meet with a Shuah, the brother of Chelub, or Caleb,  1 Chronicles 4:11—and Shuah, sister to Japhlet,  1 Chronicles 7:32. The name is from a similar word, to cry. It is probably that the Shuhites were from this stock. Abraham's son Shuah, or Shuach, might be the founder of the Shuhites, or Shuchites. ( Genesis 25:2;  Job 2:11)

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

Shuah . A son of Abraham and Keturah,   Genesis 25:2 ,   1 Chronicles 1:32 . The tribe represented by this name may perhaps be the Suchu of the cuneiform inscriptions, on the right bank of the Euphrates. Bildad the Shuhite (  Job 2:11;   Job 8:1;   Job 18:1;   Job 25:1;   Job 42:9 ) is prob. intended to be thought of as belonging to this tribe.
