There seems to be some confusion in the text about Ner.
We have Jeiel (1 Chron 8-9) as the father of both Ner and Kish (1 Sam) (1 Chronicles 8:29) (2 Samuel 14:51 names the father Abiel, likely and alternate name)
We have Ner as the father of Kish (1 Sam) (1 Chronicles 8:33)
We have Kish (1 Sam) as the father of Saul (many places)
We have Ner as the uncle of Saul (1 Samuel 14:50)
It seems that only 1 Chronicles 8:33 puts Ner in the line. Since father son relationship sometimes skips generations, there could be a second Ner here, except that would put two Ner under Jeiel/Abiel, so unlikely. My best guess is that 1 Chronicles 8:33 is just in error.4
Kish (Esther), mentioned in Esther, May be Kish (1 Sam), the father of Saul if a remote ancestor and not direct, in any case of the tribe of Benjamin.We have Jeiel (1 Chron 8-9) as the father of both Ner and Kish (1 Sam) (1 Chronicles 8:29) (2 Samuel 14:51 names the father Abiel, likely and alternate name)
