These were the sons of Naarah. 7 The sons of Helah: Zereth, Zoar, and Ethnan. 8 Quts fathered Anub, Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel son of Harum. 9 Jabez was more honored than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "Because I bore him in pain." 10 Jabez called to the God of Israel, saying, "If you will bless me and multiply my territory, and your hand is with me, and you keep me from harm so that I do not grieve." And God granted what he asked. 11 Chelub the brother of Shuchah fathered Mehir, who was the father of Eshton. 12 Eshton fathered the House of Rapha, Pasach, and Tehinnah the father of the City of Nahash.
