NASB | 1 Samuel 9:1 Now there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Samuel 9:1 There was a man of [the tribe of] Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of influence and wealth. |
Bible Question: I am working on a geneology of the people in the Bible as I read through. I've read from Genesis to 1 Samuel when I got stuck on this verse. There is a gap between Aphiah and the Benjamite. Can anyone fill in the blank? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and God Bless! |
Bible Answer: Greetings Crystalight, "There was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Becorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjaminite, a man of wealth." 1 Samuel 9:1 [ESV] We do know that the same term 'a man of wealth' or 'power' is used of Boaz (Ruth 2:1). But to help you answer this question, the Bible mentions Kish and Abiel [names in this verse] in other places: Kish - [Kishion - Josh. 19:20; 21:28; Judg. 4:7,13; 5:21] 1 Sam 10:21; 14:51; 2 Sam. 21:14; 1 Chr. 8:30,33; 9:36,39; 23:21,22; 24:29; 26:28; 2 Chr. 29:12; Esther 2:5 [Kishi - 1 Chr. 6:44] Abiel - 1 Sam. 14:51; 1 Chr. 11:32 Zeror - only place found is 1 Sam. 9:1.. Becorath - only place found is 1 Sam. 9:1.. Aphiah - only place found is 1 Sam. 9:1.. I hope that this helps! Blessings to you, Makarios |
