Joktan

According to this map, Joktan populated East Asia. However, most people do not believe Joktan and his sons settled in East Asia.

Joktan, according to the Bible, was the second son of Eber. Genesis 10:25 proves this: "Eber was the father of two sons. One son was named Peleg. He was given this name because the earth was divided during his life. The other son was named Joktan."[1]

In Genesis 10, Joktan had thirteen sons: Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab.[2]
