ABIEL

1. Father of Kish and Ner and grandfather of King Saul, according to 1 Samuel 9:1 and 14:51. Other genealogies in 1 Chronicles list Ner, instead of Abiel, as Kish’s father and Saul’s grandfather (1 Chr 8:33; 9:39). This confusion is due either to a copyist’s error or to the possibility that Saul had two relatives named Ner, a great-grandfather and an uncle.

2. Warrior among David’s mighty men who were known as “the thirty” (1 Chr 11:32), also called Abi-albon the Arbathite (2 Sm 23:31).
