Son of Jehiel, father of Kish, grandfather of Saul; also father of Ner, Saul's uncle (1 Chronicles 8:33; 1 Samuel 14:50). Kish in 1 Chronicles 9:35-36, is an elder Kish, brother of Ner; or else is enumerated with Jehiel's "sons" (though really his grandson), because he was head of a house of fathers. Gibeon was the family abode. Jehiel's wife Maachah seemingly was descendant of Caleb by Ephah his concubine, and heiress of the estate in Gibea or Gibeon (1 Chronicles 2:46; 1 Chronicles 2:48-49; 1 Chronicles 8:29; 1 Chronicles 9:35; 1 Chronicles 14:16; Lord A. Hervey in Smith's Bible Dictionary).
