This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Ch_8:33 And Ner begat Kish, and Kish begat Saul, and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
Ver. 33. And Ner begat Kish.] This Ner is also called Abiel. {1Sa_9:1} The Hebrews tell us that his proper name was Abiel; and that he was called Ner - that is, a lamp or torch - because he outshone others in holiness. He had another son besides Kish, the father of Saul, viz., Ner, the father of Abner. {1Sa_14:50-51}
And Saul begat Jonathan.] Who was - as the Romans once said of Pompey - a most amiable son of an odious father. {a}
And Eshbaal.] Alias Ishbosheth; so 1Ch_8:34. Meribbaal, alias Mephibosheth. Baal is by Hosea called "That shame."
