2. A descendant of Judah, said to be more honorable than his brethren. He prayed to the God of Israel that He would bless him, and enlarge his border; that God’s hand might be with him, and keep him from evil that it might not grieve him. God granted that which he requested (1 Chron. 4:9-109And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. 10And 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. (1 Chronicles 4:9‑10)). It is a beautiful instance of individual faith, which rose to the privileges of God’s earthly people, and counted on the God of Israel.
