1 Chronicles 4:8-10
Living Bible
8 Koz was the father of Anub and Zobebah; he was also the ancestor of the clan named after Aharhel, the son of Harum.
9 Jabez was more distinguished than any of his brothers. His mother named him Jabez because she had such a hard time at his birth (Jabez means[a] “Distress”).
10 He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would wonderfully bless me and help me in my work; please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all evil and disaster!” And God granted him his request.

- 1 Chronicles 4:9 Jabez means. A play on words. Jabez sounds like ozeb, the Hebrew word meaning “distress.”
