1 Chronicles 4:9-11
Easy-to-Read Version
9 Jabez was a very good man, who was better than his brothers. His mother said, “I have named him Jabez[a] because I was in much pain when I had him.” 10 Jabez prayed to the God of Israel and said, “I pray that you would bless me and give me more land! Be near me and don’t let anyone hurt me! Then I will not have any pain.” God gave Jabez what he asked for.
11 Kelub was Shuhah’s brother. Kelub was Mehir’s father. Mehir was Eshton’s father.
