9 Entre lesquelles il y eut Jahbets plus distingué que ses frères; et sa mère lui avait donné le nom de Jahbets, parce que, dit-elle, je l'ai enfanté avec travail.

10 Or Jahbets invoqua le Dieu d'Israël, en disant : Ô! Si tu me bénissais abondamment, et que tu étendisses mes limites, et que ta main fût avec moi, et que tu me garantisses tellement du mal, que je fusse sans douleur. Et Dieu lui accorda ce qu'il avait demandé.

9 And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bore him with sorrow.

10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
