⁹ Jabez was honoured more than his brothers; and his mother named him Jabez, saying, ‘Because I bore him in pain.’ ¹⁰ Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, ‘Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from hurt and harm!’ And God granted what he asked. ¹¹ Chelub the brother of Shuhah became the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.
