Subject: why was Jabez named sorrow maker |
Bible Note: MJH That would make sense, since ch4 v9 has it, "and his mother named him Jabez saying, "Because I bore him with pain."" I've read somewhere that that is the meaning of the name in Hebrew and Scripture does support it; and, I think, also is only found one other place in Scripture, but I don't remember where or what context. Do you know? Just curious... John |
