3 notes on this verseAnd his firstborn son Abdon,.... That is, Jehiel's, the father or prince of Gibeon; other sons follow: Zur, Kish, Baal, Nadab, Gedor, Ahio, and Zacher; called Zechariah, 1Ch 9:37 and between Baal and Nadab, Ner is placed, 1Ch 9:36 and another son is added at the end of 1Ch 9:37, Mikloth next mentioned.
This site's exposition
the father of Gibeon
on 1 Chronicles 8:29-32
A second genealogy opens at Gibeon and traces Jeiel's line through Abdon, Zur, Kish and Baal to Mikloth, who was the father of Shimeah. The same family appears at 1 Chronicles 9:35 to 44, and Clarke passes on the account that Ezra found two source documents and kept both.
This site's exposition
Abdon was his firstborn son
Gill compares the double of this list in 1 Chronicles 9:36 to 37, which places Ner between Baal and Nadab. Clarke notes that verses 29 to 38 recur in 9:35 to 44 with small differences in the names. This Kish is Ner's brother.
