1 Chronicles 4:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ There was a man named Jabez, who 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, “Please do good things for me and 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, Shuhah’s brother, was the father of Mehir. Mehir was the father of Eshton.
