Abiel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This entry incorporates text from the public domain Easton's Bible Dictionary, originally published in 1897.

Abiel names two different men in the Hebrew Bible:

• The son of Zeror and father of Ner, who was the grandfather of Saul (1 Samuel 14:51; 1 Chronicles 8:33; 9:39). In 1 Sam. 9:1, he is called the "father," probably meaning the grandfather, of Kish.
• An Arbathite, one of David's warriors (1 Chr. 11:32); called also Abi-albon (2 Samuel 23:31).
