This Abiel, through many generations which it would have been superfluous to set out here, was descended from Benjamin. From his son Kish, King Saul was born. Kish's brother was Ner. In Chronicles, however, it is stated that he was his father.

Image excerpts from the manuscripts (as grouped by main graph versions) are the result of tool-based image annotation (via Cadmus) or manual extraction. For each manuscript version only these visually annotated manuscripts are listed here. For the grouping of all manuscripts we provide a separate list (Manuscript groups). Transcriptions are semi-diplomatic following project specific rules.
