Jewish History: Biblical History: Jabez's Prayer:

In 1 Chron. 4:10, was Jabez praying for more territory?

The other uses of "expanding a border" in the Bible can all be interpreted literally, but the use in 1 Chron.4:10 seems to be an exception. The Targum interprets it as referring to expanding Jabez's wisdom, rather than expanding his territory.
