1 Chronicles 4:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ There was a man named Jabez. He was respected more than his brothers. His mother named him Jabez^[a] because she said, “I was in much pain when I gave birth to him.” ¹⁰ Jabez prayed to the God of Israel. Jabez said, “Please do good things for me. Please give me more land. Stay with me, and don’t let anyone hurt me. Then I won’t have any pain.” And God did what Jabez had asked.

¹¹ Kelub was Shuhah’s brother. Kelub was the father of Mehir. Mehir was the father of Eshton.
