Jabez
Jabez or Jabes is a Biblical male given name from the Old Testament. It is of Hebrew origin. In Arabic and Persian it is transliterated as Yabis or Yabiz ( يَعْبِيصَ ). In 1 Chronicles, Jabez is a well-respected man (hinted to be an ancestor in the lineage of the kings' tribe of Judah, though none of his family is mentioned) whose prayer to God for blessing was answered (see 1 Chronicles 4:9-11). In Syriac and Arabic Versions, he father called his name ainei or "aina", MY EYE. In the Adam Clarke Commentary points out, that Jabez was also called “Othniel, the son of Kenaz. And he was called Jabez, because in his council he instituted a school of 31 disciples; they were called Tirathim, because in their hymns their voice was like trumpets; and Shimaathim, because in hearing they lifted up their faces, i.e., in prayer; and Suchathim, because they were overshadowed by the Spirit of prophecy. These Salmaei were the children of Zipporah, who were numbered among the Levites who came from the stock of Moses, the master of Israel, whose righteousness profited them more than chariots and horses” (Targum, quoted by Adam Clarke Commentary on I Chron.2:55).
Jabez (biblical figure)
In 1 Chronicles, Jabez is a well-respected man (ancestor in the lineage of the kings' tribe of Judah) whose prayer to God for blessing was answered (see 1 Chronicles 4:9-4:11). Moreover, the author paused in this long list to give Jabez a place of honour in the long list of Kings and lineage.
The name Jabez is Hebrew (yabetz = יַעְבֵּץ) for "he makes sorrowful"; his mother stated "I gave birth to him in pain". Jabez was labelled with "sorrow" at birth, but his prayer against contracting sorrow nullified the label. His life contradicted his name.
Jabez is also mentioned in 1 Chronicles 2:55, possibly as a place name.

It Is Well
by: Joe PaceVerse 1
When peace, like a river
attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul
Chorus 1
It is well, with my soul
It is well, with my soul
Verse 2
And Lord haste the day when the
faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back
as a scroll
The trumpet shall sound and the
Lord shall descend
Even so it is well with my soul
Chorus 2
It is well, it is well
With my soul, with my soul
It is well, it is well, with my soul
Vamp
It is well, with my soul
