10Jabez prayed to the God of Israel, “Please bless me and give me more territory. May your power be with me and free me from evil so that I will not be in pain.” God gave him what he prayed for. 11Chelub, Shuhah’s brother, was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton. Eshton was the first to settle Beth Rapha. He was the father of Paseah and Tehinnah, who first settled the city of Nahash. These were the men from Recah. 13Kenaz’s sons were Othniel and Seraiah. The sons of Othniel were Hathath and Meonothai. 14Meonothai was the father of Ophrah. Seraiah was the father of Joab, who first settled the valley of Craftsmen. (It was named this because they were craftsmen.)
