5 Ashhur, the father of Tekoa, had two wives, Helah and Naarah.
6 Naarah bore him Ahuzzam, Hepher, the Temenites, and the Ahashtarites. These were the sons of Naarah.
7 The sons of Helah were Zereth, Izhar, Ethnan, and Koz.
8 Koz became the father of Anub and Zobebah, as well as of the clans of Aharhel, son of Harum.
9 Jabez was the most distinguished of his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I bore him with pain.”
10 Jabez prayed to the God of Israel: “Oh, that you may truly bless me and extend my boundaries! May your hand be with me and make me free of misfortune, without pain!” And God granted his prayer.
11 Chelub, the brother of Shuhah, became the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.
