<p> (Heb. id. נֵר '', Light;'' Sept. Νήρ ), a Benjamite, according to 1 Chronicles 8:33, father of Kish and Abner, and grandfather of king Saul. B.C. cir. 1140. Abner was, therefore, uncle to Saul, as is expressly stated in 1 Samuel 14:50. But some confusion has arisen from the statement in 1 Chronicles 9:36, that Kish and Ner were both sons of Jehiel, whence it has been concluded that they were brothers, and consequently that Abner and Saul were first cousins. The explanation of this, however, is that there was an elder Kish, uncle of Saul's father, or, rather, Ner's grandfather. (See [[Saul]]). "The name Ner, combined with that of his son Abner, may be compared with [[Nadab]] in 1 Chronicles 9:36, and Abinadab, 1 Chronicles 9:39; with Jesse, 1 Chronicles 2:13, and Abishai, 1 Chronicles 2:16; and with Juda, Luke 3:26, and Abiud, Matthew 1:13." Gesenius, misled by 1 Samuel 9:1, gives the following genealogy ''(Thesaur.'' page 9): | <p> (Heb. id. '''''נֵר''''' '', Light;'' Sept.
