10 Then Jabez ^H3258 called ^H7121 on the God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478, saying ^H559, “Oh ^H518 that ^H518 You would bless ^H1288 me indeed ^H1288 and enlarge ^H7235 my border ^H1366, and that Your hand ^H3027 might be with me, and that You would keep ^H6213 me from harm ^H7451 that it may not pain ^H6087 me!” And God ^H430 brought ^H935 about ^H935 what ^H834 he asked ^H7592.

These ^H2088 were their settlements ^H4186, and they have ^H3187 their genealogy ^H3187.

34 Meshobab ^H4877 and Jamlech ^H3230 and Joshah ^H3144 the son ^H1121 of Amaziah ^H558,

35 and Joel ^H3100 and Jehu ^H3058 the son ^H1121 of Joshibiah ^H3143, the son ^H1121 of Seraiah ^H8304, the son ^H1121 of Asiel ^H6221,

37 Ziza ^H2124 the son ^H1121 of Shiphi ^H8230, the son ^H1121 of Allon ^H438, the son ^H1121 of Jedaiah ^H3042, the son ^H1121 of Shimri ^H8113, the son ^H1121 of Shemaiah ^H8098;

38 these ^H428, who came ^H935 into the record by name ^H8034, were leaders ^H5387 in their families ^H4940; and their fathers’ ^H1 houses ^H1004 increased ^H6555 greatly ^H7230.

39 They went ^H1980 to the entrance ^H3996 of Gedor ^H1446, even ^H5704 to the east ^H4217 side ^H4217 of the valley ^H1516, to seek ^H1245 pasture ^H4829 for their flocks ^H6629. 40 They found ^H4672 rich ^H8082 and good ^H2896 pasture ^H4829, and the land ^H776 was broad ^H7342 and quiet ^H8252 and peaceful ^H7961; for those who lived ^H3427 there ^H8033 formerly ^H6440 were Hamites ^H4480 H2526. 41 And these ^H428, recorded ^H3789 by name ^H8034, came ^H935 in the days ^H3117 of Hezekiah ^H2396 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, and struck ^H5221 down ^H5221 their tents ^H168 and the Meunites ^H4586 who ^H834 were found ^H4672 there ^H8033, and devoted ^H2763 them to destruction ^H2763 to this ^H2088 day ^H3117, and lived ^H3427 in ^H8478 their place ^H8478, because ^H3588 there was pasture ^H4829 there ^H8033 for their flocks ^H6629. 42 From them, from the sons ^H1121 of Simeon ^H8095, five ^H2568 hundred ^H3967 men ^H376 went ^H1980 to Mount ^H2022 Seir ^H8165, with Pelatiah ^H6410, Neariah ^H5294, Rephaiah ^H7509, and Uzziel ^H5816, the sons ^H1121 of Ishi ^H3469, as their chiefs ^H7218. 43 They struck ^H5221 down ^H5221 the remnant ^H7611 of the Amalekites ^H6002 who ^H6413 escaped ^H6413, and have lived ^H3427 there ^H8033 to this ^H2088 day ^H3117.
