No homework needed. Who were the women who had children for Abraham?

Sariah
Hagar
Keturah

I repeat the scripture:

Genesis 25:6
But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.

So, is Keturah also counted as a concubine here? It seems so. Now we have both women called wives and concubines, for both bore him children, and even though Keturah was married to him after Sariah’s death, her children were still treated as children of a concubine. These children btw were the ancestors of the Midians, whom Moses found after being thrown out of Egypt.

And once again I said Ishmael was not one of them. Hagar and ishmael left back at Gen 21:14 and given bread and water.

Keturah was married after Sarah died 25:1 and counted as a full wife, not concubine.

Ishmael come back only to bury Abraham. 25:9

There is no inference that Keturah was a concubine since she was officially married.
