From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Bildad
     son of contention, one of Job's friends. He is called "the
     Shuhite," probably as belonging to Shuah, a district in Arabia,
     in which Shuah, the sixth son of Abraham by Keturah, settled
     (Gen. 25:2). He took part in each of the three controversies
     into which Job's friends entered with him (Job 8:1; 18:1; 25:1),


     and delivered three speeches, very severe and stern in their
     tone, although less violent than those of Zophar, but more so
     than those of Eliphaz.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
