  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Sabeans 
  descendants  of  Seba  (Gen.  10:7);  Africans  (Isa.  43:3).  They  were 
  "men  of  stature,"  and  engaged  in  merchandise  (Isa.  45:14).  Their 
  conversion  to  the  Lord  was  predicted  (Ps.  72:10).  This  word  in 
  Ezek.  23:42,  should  be  read,  as  in  the  margin  of  the  Authorized 
  Version,  and  in  the  Revised  Version,  "drunkards."  Another  tribe, 
  apparently  given  to  war,  is  mentioned  in  Job  1:15. 
 
 
  From  Hitchcock's  Bible  Names  Dictionary  (late  1800's)  [hitchcock]:
