1 Chronicles 4:5-10

New Living Translation

⁵ Ashhur (the father of Tekoa) had two wives, named Helah and Naarah. ⁶ Naarah gave birth to Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. ⁷ Helah gave birth to Zereth, Izhar,^[a] Ethnan, ⁸ and Koz, who became the ancestor of Anub, Zobebah, and all the families of Aharhel son of Harum.

⁹ There was a man named Jabez who was more honorable than any of his brothers. His mother named him Jabez^[b] because his birth had been so painful. ¹⁰ He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.
