Ner
Ner
(Heb. id. , light; Sept. ), a Benjamite, according to 1Ch 8:33, father of Kish and Abner, and grandfather of king Saul. B.C. cir. 1140. Abner was, therefore, uncle to Saul, as is expressly stated in 1Sa 14:50. But some confusion has arisen from the statement in 1Ch 9:36, that Kish and Ner were both sons of Jehiel, whence it has been concluded that they were brothers, and consequently that Abner and Saul were first cousins. The explanation of this, however, is that there was an elder Kish, uncle of Saul’s father, or, rather, Ner’s grandfather. SEE SAUL. “The name Ner, combined with that of his son Abner, may be compared with Nadab in 1Ch 9:36, and Abinadab, 1Ch 9:39; with Jesse, 1Ch 2:13, and Abishai, 1Ch 2:16; and with Juda, Luk 3:26, and Abiud, Mat 1:13.” Gesenius, misled by 1Sa 9:1, gives the following genealogy (Thesaur. page 9):

Ner
light, the father of Kish (1 Chr. 8:33). 1 Sam. 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).

Ner
Son of Jehiel, father of Kish, grandfather of Saul; also father of Ner, Saul’s uncle (1Ch 8:33; 1Sa 14:50). Kish in 1Ch 9:35-36, is an elder Kish, brother of Ner; or else is enumerated with Jehiel’s “sons” (though really his grandson), because he was head of a house of fathers. Gibeon was the family abode. Jehiel’s wife Maachah seemingly was descendant of Caleb by Ephah his concubine, and heiress of the estate in Gibea or Gibeon (1Ch 2:46; 1Ch 2:48-49; 1Ch 8:29; 1Ch 9:35; 1Ch 14:16; Lord A. Hervey in Smith’s Bible Dictionary).

Ner
Son of Abiel, father of Abner, and Saul’s uncle. 1Sa 14:50-51. The genealogy here falls thus:
Abiel
/
Kish. Ner.
| |
Saul. Abner.
This differs from the Chronicles, where Ner is the son of Jehiel of Gibeon, and the father of Kish, the father of Saul. 1Ch 8:33; 1Ch 9:36; 1Ch 9:39. The rabbis say that this Ner is the same person as Abiel; but others suppose him to be some earlier ancestor not elsewhere mentioned.
