Commento su I Cronache 4:9
וַיְהִ֣י יַעְבֵּ֔ץ נִכְבָּ֖ד מֵאֶחָ֑יו וְאִמּ֗וֹ קָרְאָ֨ה שְׁמ֤וֹ יַעְבֵּץ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר כִּ֥י יָלַ֖דְתִּי בְּעֹֽצֶב׃
E Jabez era più onorevole dei suoi fratelli; e sua madre chiamò il suo nome Jabez, dicendo:'Perché lo annoiavo di dolore.'
Rashi on I Chronicles
and his mother named him Jabez, saying, “For I bore him in sadness” and she nicknamed him Jabez. A similar instance is Ben Oni. [Other editions read (Gen. 35:18): “... but his father called him Benjamin.”]
