Kish:
a bow. (1.) A Levite of the family of Merari (1Ch 23:21; 24:29).
(2.) A Benjamite of Jerusalem (1Ch 8:30; 9:36).
(3.) A Levite in the time of Hezekiah (2Ch 29:12).
(4.) The great-grandfather of Mordecai (Est 2:5).
(5.) A Benjamite, the son of Abiel, and father of king Saul (1Sa 9:1,3; 10:11,21; 14:51; 2Sa 21:14). All that is recorded of him is that he sent his son Saul in search of his asses that had strayed, and that he was buried in Zelah. Called Cis, Act 13:21 (R.V., Kish).
Kish:
hard; difficult; straw; for age
Kish:
kish (qish; Kis, Keis, "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; 14:51; compare Ac 13:21; 1Sa 10:21). According to 1Ch 8:33 and 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; 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 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 (Es 2:5).
