Contextual Overview

1 the sons of Judah, Perez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal. 2 And, Reaiah son of Shobal, begat Jahath, and, Jahath, begat Ahumai, and Lahad. These, are the families of the Zorathites. 3 And, these, were the sons of Etam, Jezreel and Ishma, and Idbash, - and, the name of their sister, was Hazzelelponi; 4 and Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer, the father of Hushah. These, are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah, the father of Bethlehem. 5 And, Ashhur the father of Tekoa, had two wives, - Helah, and Naarah. 6 And Naarah bare him Ahuzzam and Hepher, and Temeni, and Haahashtari. These, were the sons of Naarah. 7 And, the sons of Helah, were Zereth, Izhar, and Ethnan. 8 And, Koz, begat Anub, and Zobebah, - and the families of Aharhel, the son of Harum. 9 Now it came to pass that Jabez was more honourable than his brethren, - but, his mother, had called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with pain. 10 So then Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldst, indeed bless, me, and enlarge my boundary, and that thy hand might be with me, - and that thou wouldst work to deliver me from evil, that it be not my pain. And God brought about that which he asked.
