A Prayer in a List

Read the Story

Chapter 4 lists more families from the tribe of Judah. Some of them were potters who worked for the king. Then, in the middle of all the names, there is a short story about a man named Jabez.

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. He called on the God of Israel. He asked God to bless him and make his border bigger. He asked for God's hand to be with him and to keep him from evil.

God granted him what he asked. The chapter then lists the tribe of Simeon. Some of them went to find pasture for their flocks. They found rich, good pasture where the land was wide and quiet.

Memory Verse

“Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border! May your hand be with me, and may you keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” God granted him that which he requested.”

1 Chronicles 4:10 (WEB)
