1 Chronicles 4:9-10 ▼

9 Jabez enjoyed more honor than his relatives—his mother named him Jabez, she said, |because I bore him in pain.|

10 Later on, Jabez called on the God of Israel, asking him, |...whether you would bless me again and again, enlarge my territory, keep your power with me, keep me from evil, and keep me from harm!| And God granted what he had requested.
