وَدَعَا يَعْبِيصُ إِلهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «لَيْتَكَ تُبَارِكُنِي، وَتُوَسِّعُ تُخُومِي، وَتَكُونُ يَدُكَ مَعِي، وَتَحْفَظُنِي مِنَ الشَّرِّ حَتَّى لاَ يُتْعِبُنِي». فَآتَاهُ اللهُ بِمَا سَأَلَ.
(1 أخ٤ :١٠ )

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.

(1 Chronicles 4:10, NIV)
