Jabez (biblical figure)

Jabez is a biblical male names from the Old Testament whose meaning is generally indicated by "He's in pain" or " sad, sorrowful ". Jabez was a respected man of the Israelite tribe of Judah. Noteworthy is his prayer for blessings, which can be found in a short report about him in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 GNB. Additional information about Jabez are not included in the Bible. On prayer Bruce Wilkinson wrote a bestseller that has become devotional book.

Furthermore, the Bible tells about a town in Judah, 1 Chr 2,55 GNB, mainly inhabited by the families of the scribes.

The exact relationship between the two Jabez reports is unclear.
