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]:
