Did the blessings obtained by Jabez include earthly, temporal blessings? I have no doubt that they did, but we must not reduce the blessings of Jabez to temporal blessings. Jabez did not look to God for superficial assistance, but he asked to be blessed indeed. We move to the second petition of Jabezs prayer, where we hear him pray enlarge my territory. What territory is Jabez speaking of? Is Jabez asking the Lord for a larger property? Is
The following verses contain all we know about Jabez: Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, “Because I bore him with pain.

And God granted him what he requested.
