The sons and chief men of Benjamin33. The stock of Saul and Jonathan Ner was the father of Kish Ner is a lesser-known figure in the Bible, but he is significant as the grandfather of Israel's first king, Saul. The genealogy here establishes the lineage of Saul, emphasizing the tribe of Benjamin. This connection to Benjamin is important, as it fulfills the tribal allotments described in earlier texts like Joshua. The name "Ner" means "lamp" or "light," which can symbolize guidance or leadership, fitting for the ancestor of a king. Kish was the father of Saul Saul was the father of Jonathan Malchishua Abinadab Esh-baal Persons / Places / Events 1. NerThe grandfather of Saul, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. His lineage is significant in the history of Israel's monarchy. 2. Kish The father of Saul, a Benjamite, who played a crucial role in the establishment of Israel's first king. 3. Saul The first king of Israel, anointed by the prophet Samuel. His reign marked the transition from the period of the judges to the monarchy. 4. Jonathan The eldest son of Saul, known for his deep friendship with David and his loyalty to his father. 5. Malchi-shua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal Sons of Saul, who, along with Jonathan, were involved in the military campaigns of their father and met their demise in battle. Teaching Points The Importance of LegacyThe genealogical record in 1 Chronicles 8:33 reminds us of the importance of family legacy and how our actions can impact future generations. As Christians, we are called to leave a legacy of faith and obedience to God. Leadership and Responsibility Saul's life serves as a cautionary tale about the responsibilities of leadership. His failure to fully obey God led to his downfall. This teaches us the importance of aligning our leadership with God's will. Friendship and Loyalty Jonathan's relationship with David exemplifies true friendship and loyalty, even in the face of familial conflict. As believers, we are encouraged to cultivate friendships that honor God and support one another in faith. The Sovereignty of God Despite Saul's failures, God's sovereign plan for Israel continued through David. This reassures us that God's purposes will prevail, even when human leaders falter.(33) The house of Saul It is not said here that Saul's immediate family was settled at Gibeon. From 1Samuel 10:26; 1Samuel 15:34, and 2Samuel 21:6, we learn that Gibeah, or "Gibeah of Saul," was the seat of the king. It is gratuitous to suppose that the chronicler has confounded two different places. And Ner begat Kish.--1Samuel 9:1 gives the following pedigree of Kish: Kish son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bechorath, son of Aphiah; and 1Samuel 14:51 states that Kish the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, were sons of Abiel. The omission of intermediate names is not uncommon in these lists. We may, therefore, suppose that some members of the genealogical series are here omitted between Ner and Kish. The father of Abner was, of course, only a namesake of the present Ner, which is perhaps a clan, not an individual. . . . Verses 33, 34. - The number of Saul's children was certainly nine. In addition to the four (1 Samuel 31:2) mentioned here, there was Ishui, probably standing second (1 Samuel 14:49), and there were two daughters, Merab and Michal (1 Samuel 14:49), and there were two sons by Rizpah (2 Samuel 21:8), named Armoui and Mephi-bosheth. Esh-baal; the same with Ishbo-sheth (2 Samuel 2:8; 2 Samuel 3:7-14; 2 Samuel 4:4-12). Merib-baal; the same with Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9:12). Micah is, therefore, the great-grandson of Saul.Parallel Commentaries ...
