The name of Saul's wife [was] Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the commander of his army [was] Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

Kish [was] the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner [was] the son of Abiel.

Great men are not [always] wise, Nor do the aged [always] understand justice.
