ya.bets is the proper name of a man honored among his brothers, who calls to the God of Israel, and of the place where families lived.

The term is used as a proper name: in 1 Chronicles 4:9 and 1 Chronicles 4:10 it identifies the man whose mother names him, who is honored above his brothers, and who calls to the God of Israel; in 1 Chronicles 2:55 it identifies the place where families of secretaries lived.

   In 1 Chronicles 4:9, both proper-noun forms identify the person whose mother called his name and whom the APB renders as honored above his brothers. In 1 Chronicles 4:10, the proper noun identifies the speaker who called to the God of Israel and whose request God granted in the APB rendering.

2. Place where families lived · occasional

   In 1 Chronicles 2:55, the proper-noun form occurs in the clause about families of secretaries who lived there; the APB renders the location as "at Jabez."

   1 Chronicles 2:55

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "Jabez" in the family account and prayer of 1 Chronicles 4:9 and 1 Chronicles 4:10, and as the location "at Jabez" in 1 Chronicles 2:55. These renderings confirm the verses' presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the Hebrew form.
