Kish (Hebrew: קיש Qīš) was the father of the first king of the Israelites, Saul.
The question may be resolved by reading both Ner and Kish as sons of Abiel.
"The possession of a drove of asses, and several servants, indicates that Kish was a man of some substance".
[1] The narrative later confirms that Kish was more concerned about the apparent disappearance of his son than about his loss of possessions.
Many equate him with the above, [citation needed] but some, including Ibn Ezra, argue that this is a different Kish.
