Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 8:33

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 33This verse combined with 1 Chronicles 9:35-39, seems to show that the genealogy of Saul was: d d Abiel (= Jehiel?) d d d d d d Ner d d d d d d d KishAbner d d d d Saul d d Rather than that to be inferred from 1 Samuel 9:1; 1 Samuel 14:50-51.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 33-40The Chronicler ends his account of Benjamin's history with Saul's family tree. It starts two generations before Saul and goes through Merib-baal (also known as Mephibosheth; see study note on 2 Samuel 4:4) and continues to the families of Azel and Eshek (1 Chronicles 8:38–40).

Moreover, the father of Kish is said (1Sa 9:1) to have been Abiel, the son of Zeror, whence it would seem that Abiel and Ner were names of the same person. Abinadab--the same as Ishui (1Sa 14:49). Esh-baal--that is, Ish-bosheth.Read the comment
