9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez [Painful], because she said that his birth was painful.

10 Jabez prayed to the God of Israel, |Please bless me and give me more territory. May your power be with me and free me from evil so that I will not be in pain.| God gave him what he prayed for.
