About Abida
Abida is mentioned in the genealogies of Abraham's descendants through his concubine Keturah. He was one of the sons of Midian, who was a son of Abraham and Keturah (Gen.25.4; 1Ch.1.33). The Midianites, named after Abida's father, are later mentioned in the Bible as a nomadic people living in the region near Canaan. However, no further information is provided about Abida himself or his specific role within the Midianite clan.
