And Coz begat Anub, and Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel the son of Harum.	And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.	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.
