1 Chronicles 8:33

¶ And Ner begat Kish, and Kish begat Saul, and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

And Ner {H5369} begat {H3205} Kish {H7027}, and Kish {H7027} begat {H3205} Saul {H7586}, and Saul {H7586} begat {H3205} Jonathan {H3083}, and Malchishua {H4444}, and Abinadab {H41}, and Eshbaal {H792}.

Ner fathered Kish; Kish fathered Sha'ul; and Sha'ul fathered Y'honatan, Malkishua, Avinadav and Eshba'al.

Ner was the father of Kish, Kish was the father of Saul, and Saul was the father of Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal.

And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi-shua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
