Commentary
5 notes on this verseHuz - He is supposed to have peopled the land of Uz or Ausitis, in Arabia Deserta, the country of Job. Buz his brother - From this person Elihu the Buzite, one of the friends of Job, is thought to have descended. Kemuel the father of Aram - Kamouel πατερα Συρων, the father of the Syrians, according to the Septuagint. Probably the Kamiletes, a Syrian tribe to the westward of the Euphrates are meant; they are mentioned by Strabo.
This site's exposition
Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor
on Genesis 22:20-22
News from home reaches Abraham straight after the mountain. The sons of Nahor are listed, and some of the names carry on through Scripture. Clarke ties Uz to the land where Job lived and Buz to Elihu the Buzite, and Gill says the rest are listed for Bethuel's sake.
This site's exposition
Kemuel (the father of Aram)
Adam Clarke reports that the Greek calls Kemuel the father of the Syrians, and he thinks of a Syrian tribe near the Euphrates. This Aram is a grandson of Abraham's brother Nahor. His brother Buz and Uz the firstborn lead the list.

Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother,.... The first of these gave name to the land of Uz, where Job dwelt, and who seems to be a descendant of this man, Job 1:1; and from whom sprung the Ausitae of Ptolemy (p), who dwelt near Babylon and by the Euphrates.
