Study note
Setting — The chronicler lists the sons of Jeiel of Gibeon immediately after recording Jeiel’s residence and his wife Maacah.
The words — The text highlights הַ/בְּכוֹר (ha./be.Khor), meaning “the firstborn,” to establish Abdon’s primary inheritance status among the listed sons.
The thread — The names Ner and Kish reappear in 1 Chronicles 8:33 and 1 Chronicles 9:39 to trace the ancestral line that produces King Saul.
Why it lands — The passage requires the reader to verify clan continuity and recognize how recorded lineage grounds Israel’s tribal identity and royal succession.
