9 Jaebes hade större anseende än någon av sina bröder. Hans mor gav honom namnet Jaebes, därför att hon hade haft det så svårt under förlossningen. Jaebes betyder smärta.
10 Det var han som ropade och bad till Israels Gud: Välsigna mig och utvidga mitt område! Var med mig i allt jag gör och bevara mig från olycka och smärta! Gud hörde hans bön och gav honom vad han begärde.
