• The settlement which thus recalls the founder {Obal} was on the African side of the Red sea, not in Arabia. (“Genesis 10:28” by W. Kelly)

• Abimael (“father of Mael,” taken as an appellative, “fatness”) is to be found, it would seem, on the east of Yembo (Jambia) and even of the town Ausura (C. Ptolemy) or El-Szafra of Burckhardt. Their town is called both Malai and Kheyf....The people of Mali or Malai seem no other than the Malichae. To this day the district has a high reputation for its balsam. (“Genesis 10:28” by W. Kelly)

• Sheba needs the greater care because in the inspired history we hear of no less than three heads of tribes who bore the name, the tenth of Joktan's sons now in question, preceded by the Cushite Raamah's son (ver. 7), and followed by the Abrahamic son of Keturah, Jokshan, who begat another Sheba (xxv. 2, 3). (“Genesis 10:28” by W. Kelly)
