Jabez acknowledges that the God of Israel is the source of all blessing, and he asks God for His grace. No doubt, this request was based, at least in part, on God’s promise of blessing to Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 22:17).
Walang duda na ang kahilingang ito ay base, sa isang banda, sa pangako ng Diyos na pagpapala kay Abraham at sa kanyang mga inapo (Genesis 22:17).
