1 Chronicles 4:5-10

5Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.

6Naarah bore to him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the descendants of Naarah.

7The sons of Helah were Zereth, Zohar,1 Ethnan,

8and Koz, who was the father of Anub and Zobebah and of the clans of Aharhel son of Harum.

9Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez,2 saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”

10And Jabez called out to the God of Israel, “If only You would bless me and enlarge my territory! May Your hand be with me and keep me from harm, so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted the request of Jabez.
