1 Chronicles 9:39

And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

Kish begat Saul. Here, as well as in the pedigree as given, 1 Chronicles 8:33, he is represented as the greatgrandson of Abiel (Jehiel); whereas he appears as grandson, 1 Samuel 9:1; 1 Samuel 14:51. The explanation is, that a link has been dropped-a circumstance common to all the genealogies.
