Explanation preview

This verse closes the genealogical section of 1 Chronicles by tracing the line of Saul, Israel's first king: Ner, Kish, Saul, then Saul's sons. It repeats a family record already given earlier in the book, and the Chronicler places it here to connect the returning exiles with the older royal house of Benjamin.
