1 Chronicles 4:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible
9 Another of Judah's descendants was called Jabez. People respected him more than his brothers. His mother called him Jabez, because she said, ‘I had a lot of pain at his birth.’[a] 10 Jabez prayed to Israel's God for help. He said, ‘Please bless me very much and give me more land. Please take care of me so that nothing hurts me and I do not have pain.’ God did what Jabez had prayed for.
11 Kelub, Shuhah's brother, became the father of Mehir. Mehir became the father of Eshton.
