1 Chronicles 4:8-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. Now Koz conceived Anub, and Zobebah, and the kindred of Aharhel, the son of Harum.

9. But Jabez was renown, more so than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "For I bore him in sorrow."

10. Truly, Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, "If only, when blessing, you will bless me, and will broaden my borders, and your hand will be with me, and you will cause me not to be oppressed by evil." And God granted to him the things for which he prayed.

11. Now Chelub, the brother of Shuhah, conceived Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.

12. Then Eshton conceived Bethrapha, and Paseah, and Tehinnah, the father of the city of Nahash. These are the men of Recah.
