1 Chronicles 4:5-10

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

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

7The sons of Helah: Zereth, Izhar, and Ethnan.

8Koz fathered Anub, Zobebah, and the clans of Aharhel, the son of Harum.

9Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "Because I bore him in pain."

10Jabez called upon 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 harm so that it might not bring me pain!" And God granted what he asked.
