Ner begat Kish. There are three genealogies of the house of Saul. We place the facts, (1) that persons often had two names (1 Chronicles 8:34.Judges 6:32, &c), and (2) that the same name recurs in the same family, against the assumption that the opposite is the case. It is this assumption which creates the difficulties in "reconciling" 1 Samuel 9:1; 1 Samuel 14:51. and 1 Chronicles 9:38.
Esh-baal. Another name for Ish-bosheth (2 Samuel 2:8).
