Ner
Years: 1200 BC – 1014 BC
Light, the father of Kish ([1 Chr. 8:33](/1chr#1Chr.8.33)). [1 Sam. 14:51](/1sam#1Sam.14.51) should be read, “Kish, the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, were the sons of Abiel.” And hence this Kish and Ner were brothers, and Saul and Abner were first cousins (comp. [1 Chr. 9:36](/1chr#1Chr.9.36)).
