Azel had six sons named Azrikam, Bokeru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. His brother Eshek's sons were Ulam his firstborn, followed by Jeush and Eliphelet. Ulam's sons were warriors well known as archers. They had lots of sons and grandsons—at least 150. These were all in Benjamin's family tree.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Ner begat Kish,.... Who also is called Abiel, as the Targum here adds; for Ner had two names, as other Jewish writers likewise say r, see 1 Samuel 9:1,
and Kish begat Saul; the first king of Israel, for whose sake chiefly the genealogy of Benjamin is revised and enlarged in this chapter:
and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal, see 1 Samuel 31:2. Abinadab is called Ishui, 1 Samuel 14:49 and Eshbaal is the same with Ishbosheth, 2 Samuel 2:8, so Baal and Bosheth are used of the same idol of which they are names, Hosea 9:10.
r Vajikra Rabba, sect. 9. fol. 152. 4.

Rather than that to be inferred from 1 Samuel 9:1; 1 Samuel 14:50-51.
In 1 Samuel 14:49 note, it is concluded that Saulâs second son bore the two names of âIshuiâ and âAbinadab.â But the order of the names here:
(1) Jonathan;
(2) Malchi-shua; and
(3) Abinadab - suggests another explanation, namely, that Ishui, the second son, died young, and that Abinadab was really the fourth son.
Esh-baal - Previous to the introduction of the Phoenician Baal-worship into Israel by Ahab, the word âBaalâ ××¢× baâal had no bad sense in Hebrew, but was simply an equivalent of the more ordinary ×× 'eÌl, âGodâ (1 Chronicles 3:1 note). Hence, there is nothing strange in the use at this time of the names, âEsh-baalâ (âman of Godâ), âBaal,â âBeel-iada,â âMerib-baal,â etc. Later on such names became offensive to pious ears, and were changed for the better, or for the worse, âBeel-iadaâ becoming âEl-iadaâ (âlet God aidâ) - âEsh-baal,â âIsh-bo-shethâ (âman of shameâ) - âMerib-baal,â âMephi-bosheth;â and the like.
