1 Chronicles 4:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez [Painful], because she said that his birth was painful. ¹⁰ Jabez prayed to the God of Israel, “Please bless me and give me more territory. May your power be with me and free me from evil so that I will not be in pain.” God gave him what he prayed for.

¹¹ Chelub, Shuhah’s brother, was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.
