1 Chronicles 4:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him Jabez because she said, “I gave birth to him with pain.”[a] 10 Jabez called to the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my borders! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from evil,[b] so that I will not experience pain!” God granted him what he requested.
11 Kelub, the brother of Shuhah, became the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.
