9 Jabez was more respected than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, for she said, |I experienced pain when I gave birth to him.| 10 Jabez called out to the God of Israel, |If only you would greatly bless me and expand my territory! May your hand be with me! Keep me from harm so I might not endure pain!| God answered his prayer. 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
