Bible Question: Is there a relationship between Kish, the father of King Saul, and the Kish in the geneaology of Mordecai in the book of Esther, chapter 2? |
Bible Answer: I looked it up in my NIV Bible Dictionary: KISH (Heb. qish, bow, power). 1. A Benjamite, a son of Abiel and father of Saul, Israel's first king (1 Sam 9:1, 3; 10:11, 21). Called Cis in KJV of Acts 13:21. 2. A son of Abi Gibeon, a Benjamite (1 Chron 8:30; 9:36). 3. A Levite of the family of Merari (23:21-22; 24:29). 4. A Levite and a Merarite who assisted in the cleansing of the temple in Hezekiah's time (2 Chron 29:12). 5. A Benjamite, an ancestor of Mordecai, the cousin of Queen Esther (Esth 2:5). It looks like number 1 and number 5 agree. In God's Grace, Ric |
