Jabez (more honorable than his brothers)
야베스 (그 형제보다 존귀한 자)
Named at 1 Chronicles 4:9: “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him Jabez, saying, ‘Because I bore him with sorrow.’” 4:10 says, “Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, ‘Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border! May your hand be with me, and may you keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!’ God granted him that which he requested.” The Korean Revised Version gives the mother’s words as reported speech (이는 내가 수고로이 낳았다 함이었더라).
