Is anyone other than Abraham called God's friend in the Bible?

Luke 12:4 (KJV) And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

John 15:13-14 (KJV) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

John 15:15 (KJV) Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

And Scripture says: Jesus was a friend of sinners. (Luke 7:31–34; cf. Matthew 11:16–19).

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. John 15:15 RSV. (Does this count?)

In answer to your question I give you the following

The meaning of the Name Reuel, is “A friend of God.

As such Jethro Moses' father in-law was recognised as being a Friend of God.
