5AshhurH806 the father ofH1 TekoaH8620 hadH1961 twoH8147 wivesH802, HelahH2458 and NaarahH5292.

6NaarahH5292 boreH3205 to him AhuzzamH275, HepherH2660, TemeniH8488, andH853 HaahashtariH326. TheseH428 were the descendantsH1121 of NaarahH5292.

7The sonsH1121 of HelahH2458 were ZerethH6889, ZoharH3328,1 EthnanH869,

8and KozH6976, who was the father ofH3205 AnubH6036 andH853 ZobebahH6637 and of the clansH4940 of AharhelH316 sonH1121 of HarumH2037.

9Now JabezH3258 wasH1961 more honorableH3513 than his brothersH251. His motherH517 had named himH7121H8034 JabezH3258,2 sayingH559, “BecauseH3588 I boreH3205 him in painH6090.”

10And JabezH3258 called outH7121 to the GodH430 of IsraelH3478H559, “If onlyH518 You would bless meH1288 and enlargeH7235 my territoryH1366! May Your handH3027 beH1961 with meH5973 and keep meH6213 from harmH7451, so that I will be freeH1115 from painH6087.” And GodH430 grantedH935 the requestH7592 ofH853 Jabez.
