Audio Bible Context Genealogy from Benjamin to Saul…29Jeiel the father of Gibeon lived in Gibeon. His wife’s name was Maacah, 30and Abdon was his firstborn son, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Nadab, 31Gedor, Ahio, Zecher,… Cross References 1 Samuel 14:49-51 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua. His two daughters were named Merab (his firstborn) and Michal (his younger daughter). / His wife’s name was Ahinoam daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the commander of his army was Abner, the son of Saul’s uncle Ner. / Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were sons of Abiel. 1 Samuel 9:1-2 Now there was a Benjamite, a powerful man, whose name was Kish son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin. / And he had a son named Saul, choice and handsome, without equal among the Israelites—a head taller than any of the people. 1 Samuel 31:2 The Philistines hotly pursued Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua. 2 Samuel 2:8-9 Meanwhile, Abner son of Ner, the commander of Saul’s army, took Saul’s son Ish-bosheth, moved him to Mahanaim, / and made him king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin—over all Israel. 2 Samuel 3:6-10 During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had continued to strengthen his position in the house of Saul. / Now Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ish-bosheth questioned Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?” / Abner was furious over Ish-bosheth’s accusation. “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah?” he asked. “All this time I have been loyal to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends. I have not delivered you into the hand of David, but now you accuse me of wrongdoing with this woman! ... 2 Samuel 21:8 But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons whom Rizpah daughter of Aiah had borne to Saul, as well as the five sons whom Merab daughter of Saul had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite. 1 Chronicles 9:39 Ner was the father of Kish, Kish was the father of Saul, and Saul was the father of Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal. 1 Chronicles 10:2 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua. 1 Chronicles 12:1-2 Now these were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the mighty men who helped him in battle; / they were archers using both the right and left hands to sling stones and shoot arrows; and they were Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin): 1 Chronicles 13:1-2 Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds. / And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us. 1 Chronicles 14:1-2 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him. / And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel. 1 Chronicles 15:1-2 David constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it. / Then David said, “No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister before Him forever.” 1 Chronicles 16:1-2 So they brought the ark of God and placed it inside the tent that David had pitched for it. And they presented burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. / When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD. 1 Chronicles 17:1-2 After David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.” / And Nathan replied to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.” 1 Chronicles 18:1-2 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its villages from the hand of the Philistines. / David also defeated the Moabites, and they became subject to David and brought him tribute.

The sons and chief men of Benjamin33. The stock of Saul and Jonathan His firstborn son was Abdon The phrase "His firstborn son" signifies the importance of lineage and inheritance in ancient Israelite culture. The firstborn son traditionally held a place of prominence and responsibility within the family, often receiving a double portion of the inheritance (Deuteronomy 21:17). The name "Abdon" means "servant" or "worshiper," reflecting a life dedicated to service or devotion. This name is significant in understanding the character and potential role Abdon might have played within his family and community. The Hebrew root for Abdon, עבד ('abad), is often associated with servitude and worship, indicating a life oriented towards God and community. followed by Zur Kish Baal Ner Nadab Persons / Places / Events 1. AbdonThe firstborn son of Jeiel, a descendant of Benjamin. His name means "servant" or "worshiper," indicating a possible role or character trait. 2. Zur Another son of Jeiel. The name "Zur" can mean "rock" or "stone," which might symbolize strength or stability. 3. Kish A significant figure in the genealogy of Benjamin, Kish is also known as the father of King Saul, Israel's first king. 4. Baal A son of Jeiel, not to be confused with the Canaanite deity. The name "Baal" means "lord" or "master." 5. Ner Another descendant of Benjamin, who is also the father of Abner, a commander in Saul's army. 6. Nadab A lesser-known figure in this genealogy, sharing a name with other biblical figures, such as Aaron's son. Teaching Points The Importance of GenealogyGenealogies in the Bible serve to connect historical accounts and highlight God's faithfulness through generations. They remind us of our spiritual heritage and the continuity of God's plan. Names and Their Meanings The meanings of names in biblical genealogies often reflect character traits or prophetic insights. Reflect on the significance of your own name and how it might relate to your identity in Christ. Legacy and Influence The individuals listed in genealogies, though sometimes obscure, played roles in God's unfolding account. Consider how your life and actions contribute to the legacy of faith in your family and community. God's Sovereignty in History The inclusion of these names in Scripture underscores God's sovereign hand in history, orchestrating events and people for His purposes. Trust in God's control over your life's circumstances.(30) The sons of Abi-Gibeon--that is, the Benjamite clans of Gibeon. The name of Ner has fallen out between Baal and Nadab. (Comp. 1Chronicles 9:36.) That of Baal is interesting. Comp. 1Chronicles 8:33-34, where we find Eshbaal and Merib-baal (rather Meri-baal, i.e., "man of Baal"); comp. Merbal in Herod, vii. 88. It appears from Hosea 2:16 that the title Baal (lord) was once applied to Jehovah in common, speech: "Thou shalt call me Ishi, and shalt no more call me Baali." After the name had become associated with a foreign and idolatrous cultus, it was discarded in favour of the synonymous Adon (Adonai).Verses 30, 31. - These verses contain the names of eight sons of Jehiel instead of the ten of 1 Chronicles 9:36, 37. Both of the missing names, however (viz. Ner after Baal, and Mikloth after Zacher), are introduced in verses immediately succeeding, where their sons are spoken cf. One name, Zacher, also is spelt as Zechariah in 1 Chronicles 9:37. Both these passages agree in representing Net as the grandfather of Saul. Not so the two passages in Samuel (1 Samuel 9:1; 1 Samuel 14:51), the first of which writes Abiel in the place of the grandfather instead of great-grandfather, which, however, need occasion little difficulty; and the second of which would certainly allow Ner to be grandfather to Saul, but seems to call him uncle. Even then, if we accept what the passage allows, it is somewhat remarkable that in the next verse Ner should be signalized as father of Abner rather than of Kish - a difficulty, however, much less considerable if we accept the suggestion (see 'Speaker's Commentary,' in loc.) to translate ver. 51 thus, by the substitution of the word "sons" for "son:" "And Kish the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, were sons of Abiel." It must be remembered at the same time that this is not equivalent to saying that they were necessarily brothers, but only descendants of the chief of the family, of the Demarch or Phylarch under mention in the genealogy.
