1 Chronicles 8:33 and 9:39 say that Ner became the father of Kish and Kish the father of Saul, and 9:35–36 name Kish and Ner among the sons of Jeiel the father of Gibeon. 1 Samuel 9:1 names Kish the son of Abiel, and 14:51 says, “Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.” The text does not say whether the Ner of 1 Chronicles is Ner the father of Abner, whether the Kish and Ner of 9:36 are the Ner and Kish of 9:39, or how the fathers it gives Kish stand together. This collection holds the Kish who became the father of Saul as one entry (9:39), holds Abiel as the father of Kish and of Ner by 1 Samuel 9:1 and 14:51, and records the Ner of 1 Chronicles as a name of its lists, linked to no entry, with no relation written between Ner and Kish. It decides nothing.
