Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 1:15

"and the Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away: yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee." — Job 1:15 (ASV)

The Sabeans. —Literally, Sheba. Three persons named Sheba are found in Genesis:

1. The son of Raamah and grandson of Cush (Genesis 10:7).
2. The son of Jokshan and grandson of Abraham (Genesis 25:3).
3. The son of Joktan and grandson of Eber (Genesis 10:28).

It is probably the second who is referred to here, whose descendants led a predatory and marauding kind of life in the country bordering on that of Job. .
