51 And Kish+ was the father of Saul, and Ner+ the father of Abʹner was the son* of A·biʹel.*

33 As for Ner,+ he became father to Kish;+ Kish, in turn, became father to Saul;+ Saul, in turn, became father to Jonʹa·than*+ and Malʹchi-shuʹa+ and A·binʹa·dab+ and Esh·baʹal.+

39 As for Ner,+ he became father to Kish;+ Kish, in turn, became father to Saul;+ Saul, in turn, became father to Jonʹa·than+ and Malʹchi-shuʹa+ and A·binʹa·dab+ and Esh·baʹal.+

21 But from then on they demanded a king,+ and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin,+ for forty years.
