Matthew Henry Commentary Genesis 25:1-10

"And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. But unto the sons of the concubines, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts. And he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. And these are the days of the years of Abraham`s life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years. And Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of years], and was gathered to his people. And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre. The field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth. There was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife." — Genesis 25:1-10 (ASV)

All the days, even of the best and greatest saints, are not remarkable days; some pass by quietly; such were these last days of Abraham. Here is an account of Abraham's children by Keturah, and the disposition he made of his estate. After the birth of these sons, he set his house in order, with prudence and justice.

He did this while he still lived. It is wisdom for people to do what they find to do while they live, as far as they can. Abraham lived 175 years; of this time, exactly one hundred years were spent after he came to Canaan, and for that entire period he was a sojourner in a strange land. Whether our stay in this life is long or short, it matters little, provided we leave behind us a testimony to the faithfulness and goodness of the Lord, and a good example to our families.

We are told that his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him. It seems that Abraham himself had brought them together while he lived. Let us not close the history of the life of Abraham without blessing God for such a testimony of the triumph of faith.
