New King James Version (NKJV)

Genesis 30
⁷ And Rachel’s maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
⁸ Then Rachel said, "With great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and indeed I have prevailed." So she called his name Naphtali.
⁹ When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah her maid and gave her to Jacob as wife.
¹⁰ And Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
¹¹ Then Leah said, "A troop comes!"
¹² And Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.
¹³ Then Leah said, "I am happy, for the daughters will call me blessed." So she called his name Asher.
¹⁴ Now Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes."
¹⁵ But she said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes also?" And Rachel said, "Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes."
¹⁶ When Jacob came out of the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes." And he lay with her that night.
¹⁷ And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.
