Context — The Prayer of Jabez
7The sons of Helah were Zereth, Zohar, Ethnan,
8and Koz, who was the father of Anub and Zobebah and of the clans of Aharhel son of Harum.
9Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”
10And Jabez called out to the God of Israel, “If only You would bless me and enlarge my territory! May Your hand be with me and keep me from harm, so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted the request of Jabez. 11Chelub the brother of Shuhah was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.Cross References

1 Chronicles 4:9 Summary
This verse tells us about a man named Jabez who was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him Jabez because she had a lot of pain when he was born. This verse sets the stage for Jabez's powerful prayer in the next verse, where he asks God to bless him and keep him from harm. Just like Jabez, we can trust God to be with us and help us, even when things are difficult, as promised in Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:5.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why was Jabez more honorable than his brothers?
The Bible does not provide a detailed explanation, but it can be inferred that Jabez's honor was due to his faith and trust in God, as seen in his prayer in 1 Chronicles 4:10, which is reminiscent of the faith of men like Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3 and Moses in Exodus 3:1-4:17.
What does the name Jabez mean?
The name Jabez means 'pain' or 'sorrow', which is why his mother named him Jabez, saying, 'Because I bore him in pain', as stated in 1 Chronicles 4:9, which highlights the difficulties and challenges that Jabez faced from birth.
How does Jabez's story relate to our lives?
Jabez's story teaches us about the importance of prayer and trusting in God, as seen in Philippians 4:6-7, and how God can use our difficult circumstances to bring about good, as stated in Romans 8:28.
What can we learn from Jabez's family background?
Jabez's family background, as described in 1 Chronicles 4:7-11, shows that God can use anyone, regardless of their family or circumstances, to accomplish great things, as seen in the stories of Joseph in Genesis 37-50 and David in 1 Samuel 16:1-13.
Reflection Questions
- What are some challenges or difficulties that I am currently facing, and how can I trust God to bring about good in those situations?
- How can I, like Jabez, be more honorable in my own family and community by trusting and obeying God?
- What are some ways that I can pray and ask God to bless and enlarge my territory, just like Jabez did in 1 Chronicles 4:10?
- How can I use my own story and experiences to point others to God's faithfulness and love, just like Jabez's story does?
- What does it mean for me to 'call out to the God of Israel' like Jabez did, and how can I make that a regular part of my prayer life?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 4:9
And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren,.... The Targum adds, "and wiser in the law than his brethren;'' or he might be a man of great wealth and riches, or of great strength and courage, all
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 4:9
And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 4:9
Jabez; one of the fathers of the families of Aharhel last mentioned. More honourable than his brethren, for courage, and especially for true and fervent piety, expressed in the following petition.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 4:9
1 Chronicles 4:9 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.Ver. 9. And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren.] Propter opes, saith Piscator, for his wealth; for his holiness rather, or for his valour and learning, tam Marte quam Mercurio, if he were that renowned Othniel, as some make him to be: others, Othniel’ s brother. In his city, called by his name Jabez, dwelt scribes, hence Vatablus concludeth that he was doctor insignis. And his mother called him Jabez,] i.e., Dolorificum; a dear, but doleful child to her, a son of her sorrows, because she had a hard bargain, as they call it, when she brought him forth; and haply died of him, as Rachel did of her Benoni. His father might change his name to Othniel. Clarissimus fuit propter foritudinem; deinde doctor fuit. - Lavat. Jangbets, for Jangtseb; of gnetseb, pain, grief.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 4:9
(9) More honourable than his brethren.—Comp. what is said of Hamor son of Shechem in Genesis 34:19. His brethren.—Perhaps the sons of Coz. The form of the Hebrew verb implies connection with 1 Chronicles 4:8. His mother called his name . . .—Comp. Genesis 29:32-35, and especially Genesis 35:18. With sorrow.—Rather, pain.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 4:9
Verse 9. And Jabez was more honourable] This whole account is variously understood by some of the principal versions. I shall subjoin a translation of each. SEPTUAGINT. - "And Igabes was more glorious than his brethren; and his mother called his name Igabes, saying, I have brought thee forth as Gabes. And Igabes invoked the God of Israel, saying, If in blessing thou wilt bless me, and enlarge my borders, and thy hand be with me, and wilt give me understanding not to depress me: and God brought about all that he requested." SYRIAC. - "And one of these was dear to his father and to his mother; and he called his name [Syriac] ainai, MY EYE. And he said to him, In blessing may the Lord bless thee, and enlarge thy boundary; and may his hand be with thee; and may he preserve thee from evil, that it may not rule over thee; and may he give to thee whatsoever thou shalt request of him!" ARABIC. - "And this one (Hastahar or Harum) was beloved of his father and his mother: and they called his name [Arabic] aina, MY EYE; and they said unto him, May the Lord bless thee, and multiply thy people, and may his hand be present with thee, because thou wast born in Beth-lehem!" These two latter versions seem to have copied each other, and the Vulgate is nearly, like ours, a literal rendering of the Hebrew; but the Chaldee is widely different from all the rest:- CHALDEE. - "And Jabets also, he is Othniel, honourable and skilled in the law beyond his brethren, whose mother called his name Jabets, because she had borne him with sorrow. And Jabets prayed to the God of Israel, saying, O that in blessing thou wouldest bless me with children, and enlarge my borders with disciples; and that thy hand may be with me in business, that thou mayest make me like to my companions, that evil concupiscence may the less grieve me! And the Lord granted that which he prayed for." Of this honourable person we know nothing but what is here mentioned, nor does the name occur in any other part of Scripture except in 1 Chronicles 2:55, where it appears to be the name of a place, but is understood by the Chaldee to be the name of a person, as here. Though I have noticed this particularly in the note on that place, yet I think it right to add the Chaldee here, that all that concerns this worthy person may be seen at one view:- 1 Chronicles 2:55: "The families of the Rechabites, the son of Eliezer, the son of Moses, the disciples of Jabets; he was Othniel, the son of Kenaz. And he was called Jabets, יעבץ Yabets, because in his counsel [בעיצתיה beytsatih, from יעץ yaats, he counselled, advised, c.] he instituted a school for disciples.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 4:9
9. The connexion of this verse also does not appear, but according to Targ. (on 1 Chronicles 4:13) Jabez = Othniel, the nephew of Caleb. And Jabez etc.] Render, And Jabez came to be hononred above his brethren, but his mother had called his name, etc. The man with the ill-omened name staved off ill-fortune by his prayer. Jabez = “He bringeth sorrow.”
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 4:9
It is remarkable that Jabez should be introduced without description, or patronymic, as if a well-known personage.
