Where Jabez appears in Scripture
וּמִשְׁפְּחוֹת סֹֽפְרִים (ישבו) יֹשְׁבֵי יַעְבֵּץ תִּרְעָתִים שִׁמְעָתִים שֽׂוּכָתִים הֵמָּה הַקִּינִים הַבָּאִים מֵֽחַמַּת אֲבִי בֵית-רֵכָֽב׃
And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab.
וַיְהִי יַעְבֵּץ נִכְבָּד מֵֽאֶחָיו וְאִמּוֹ קָֽרְאָה שְׁמוֹ יַעְבֵּץ לֵאמֹר כִּי יָלַדְתִּי בְּעֹֽצֶב׃
And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.
וַיִּקְרָא יַעְבֵּץ לֵֽאלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר אִם-בָּרֵךְ תְּבָרֲכֵנִי וְהִרְבִּיתָ אֶת-גְּבוּלִי וְהָֽיְתָה יָֽדְךָ עִמִּי וְעָשִׂיתָ מֵּֽרָעָה לְבִלְתִּי עָצְבִּי וַיָּבֵא אֱלֹהִים אֵת אֲשֶׁר-שָׁאָֽל׃
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
