Context of 1 Chronicles 4:11

9Another of Judah's descendants was called Jabez. People respected him more than his brothers. His mother called him Jabez, because she said, ‘I had a lot of pain at his birth.’ 10Jabez prayed to Israel's God for help. He said, ‘Please bless me very much and give me more land. Please take care of me so that nothing hurts me and I do not have pain.’ God did what Jabez had prayed for. Kelub, Shuhah's brother, became the father of Mehir. Mehir became the father of Eshton. 12Eshton became the father of Beth-Rapha, Paseah and Tehinnah. Tehinnah became the father of Ir-Nahash. Those people lived at Recah. 13The sons of Kenaz were: Othniel and Seraiah. Othniel's sons were: Hathath and Meonothai.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11It has been conjectured from the strangeness of all the names in this list, that we have here a fragment of Canaanite record, connected with the family of the “Shua,” whose daughter Judah took to wife 1 Chronicles 2:3; Genesis 38:2, and whose family thus became related to the tribe of Judah.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9-20The exact family trees of Judah's remaining descendants are unknown. The Chronicler likely had incomplete information.Read the comment
