Ner.


Son of Abiel, father of Abner, and Saul's uncle. 1 Sam. 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. 1 Chr. 8: 33; 1 Chr. 9: 36, 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.
