⁵¹ And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

³⁶ and his first-born son Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,

³⁷ and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.

³⁸ And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren in Jerusalem, over against their brethren.

³⁹ And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

² And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

³² Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.

³⁰ and his first-born son Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Nadab,

³¹ and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zecher.

³² And Mikloth begat Shimeah. And they also dwelt with their brethren in Jerusalem, over against their brethren.

³³ And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi-shua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

²¹ And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.

³ His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
