Jabez called out to the God of Israel, "If only you would greatly bless me and expand my territory! May your hand be with me! Keep me from harm so I might not endure pain!" God answered his prayer.

David was angry because the Lord attacked Uzzah; so he called that place Perez Uzzah, which remains its name to this very day.
