1 Chronicles 4:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ Jabez enjoyed more honor than his relatives—his mother named him Jabez, she said, “because I bore him in pain.”^[a]

¹⁰ Later on, Jabez called on the God of Israel, asking him,^[b] “…whether you would bless me again and again, enlarge my territory, keep your power^[c] with me, keep me from evil, and keep me from harm!” And God granted what he had requested.

¹¹ Chelub, Shuhah’s brother, fathered Mehir, who fathered Eshton.
