("bow".)
1. Saul's father, son of Abiel, of Benjamin, brother of Abner (1Sa_9:1-21; 1Sa_14:51). 1Ch_8:33 passes over many intermediate links between Saul and Ner, the son of Abi (the father) of Gibeon.
2. A descendant of Benjamin, of the family of Gibeon, distinct from Saul's father (1Ch_8:30).
3. A Merarite Levite, son of Abdi, in Hezekiah's days; sanctified himself to cleanse the temple (2Ch_29:12). The Levitical house under its chief, rather than an individual, is meant here by Kish.
4. 1Ch_23:21 KISH or KISHI, ancestor of Ethan the minstrel (1Ch_6:44; 1Ch_15:17) KISH or KUSHAIAH.
5. Est_2:5.

kish (קישׁ, ḳı̄sh; Κίς, Kı́s, Κείς, Keı́s, ?bow,? ?power?): The name of five persons mentioned in the Bible:
(1) The son of Abiel and the father of Saul, the first king of Israel. He was of the tribe of Benjamin, of the family of the Matrites (1Sa_9:1; 1Sa_14:51; compare Act_13:21; 1Sa_10:21). According to 1Ch_8:33 and 1Ch_9:39, ?Ner begat Kish? By reading ?Ner begat Abner? (compare 1Sa_14:51; 1Ch_6:28), the difficulty is at least partly overcome. In 1Ch_12:1, Kish is also mentioned as the father of Saul, and again in 2Sa_21:14, we are told that the sepulcher of Kish was located in the country of Benjamin, in Zela. His place of residence seems to have been at Gibeah.
(2) Another Kish is mentioned (1Ch_8:29 f; 1Ch_9:35 f) as the son of Jeiel and his wife Maacah. He is usually supposed to be the uncle of Saul's father.
(3) A Levite, the son of Mahli the Merarite (1Ch_23:21 f; compare 1Ch_24:29).
(4) Another Merarite Levite in the time of Hezekiah (2Ch_29:12).
(5) The great-grandfather of Mordecai, of the tribe of Benjamin (Est_2:5).
