Verse 33
And Ner begat Kish ,.... Who also is called Abiel, as the Targum here adds; for Ner had two names, as other Jewish writers likewise say F18 Vajikra Rabba, sect. 9. fol. 152. 4. , see 1 Samuel 9:1 ,
and Kish begat Saul ; the first king of Israel, for whose sake chiefly the genealogy of Benjamin is revised and enlarged in this chapter:
and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal , see 1 Samuel 31:2 . Abinadab is called Ishui, 1 Samuel 14:49 and Eshbaal is the same with Ishbosheth, 2 Samuel 2:8 , so Baal and Bosheth are used of the same idol of which they are names, Hosea 9:10 .
