In biblical times, the firstborn son often received a double portion of the inheritance and was expected to lead the family. This reflects the cultural importance of birth order in ancient Israelite society. The name Abdon means "servant" or "worshiper," which may indicate a family dedication to serving God.<p><b>then Zur</b><br>Zur is a name that appears in various contexts in the Bible, often associated with strength or rock. This name may reflect the family's hope for stability and resilience. The mention of Zur in this genealogy highlights the importance of each family member in the continuation of the tribal and national identity of Israel.<p><b>Kish</b><br>Kish is a significant name in the biblical narrative, as he is also the father of King Saul, Israel's first king. This connection underscores the importance of genealogies in establishing the legitimacy and heritage of Israel's leaders. Kish's lineage is crucial in understanding the transition from the period of the judges to the monarchy.<p><b>Baal</b><br>The name Baal, meaning "lord" or "master," is complex due to its association with both a Canaanite deity and as a common name or title in Israel. In this context, it likely serves as a personal name without idolatrous connotations. The use of such names reflects the cultural interactions and influences between Israel and its neighbors.<p><b>Ner</b><br>Ner is another significant figure, as he is the father of Abner, the commander of Saul's army. This connection highlights the military and political roles that members of this family played in Israel's history. The name Ner, meaning "lamp" or "light," may symbolize guidance or leadership.<p><b>Nadab</b><br>Nadab, meaning "generous" or "noble," is a name that appears elsewhere in the Bible, including as the name of Aaron's son. This reflects a tradition of naming within Israelite families that often carried significant meanings or aspirations. The inclusion of Nadab in this genealogy emphasizes the continuity and faithfulness of the family line.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/ahaz.htm">Ahaz</a></b><br>A descendant of Saul, mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin.
