Keturah

In the Book of Genesis, Keturah or Ketura (קטורה "Incense", Standard Hebrew Qətura, Tiberian Hebrew Qəṭūrāh) is the woman whom Abraham marries after the death of Sarah. She bares him Zimran , Jokshan , Medan, Midian, Ishbak , and Shuah .

Classical Torah scholarship teaches that Keturah was actually another name for Hagar, Abraham's former concubine who had borne Ishmael.
