Bible Question: I have read the prayer of Jabez and I would like to know more about him. Where can I find more on Jabez? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Gloria! The only mention of Jabez in all of the Bible is found in 1 Chron. 4:9-10: "Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, 'I gave birth to him in pain.' 10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, 'Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.' And God granted his request." So, all we know about him is that he was: 1) More honorable than his brothers. 2) Named Jabez because his mother gave birth to him in pain. 3) That he prayed to the God of Israel. 4) That God granted his request. Other than these things, everything else is speculation. 1 Chron. 2:55 may be a reference to a city in Judah named after Jabez. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
