1 Chronicles 4:9-11

New Life Version

⁹ Jabez was more a man of honor than his brothers. His mother gave him the name Jabez, saying, “Because I gave birth to him in pain.” ¹⁰ Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “O, if only You would bring good to me and give me more land! If only Your hand might be with me, that You would keep me from being hurt!” And God gave him what he asked for.

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