NER

(Heb. nēr)

A Benjaminite, the son of Abiel and father of Abner (1 Sam. 14:50-51). Nothing is known of his life, and his relationship to Saul is unclear. It is uncertain whether “Saul’s uncle” in 1 Sam. 14:50 refers to Ner or Abner. Ner is called the brother of Kish and son of Jeiel at 1 Chr. 9:36. Elsewhere he appears as the father of Kish (2 Chr. 8:33; 9:39). Josephus (Ant. 6.130) considers Ner to be the uncle of Saul and the brother of Kish.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
