Zeror (Benjaminite ancestor of Saul, Kish's grandfather)
This personal name appears in Saul's genealogy as his great-grandfather. 1 Samuel 9:1 traces Saul's lineage back through Kish (his father), Abiel, Zeror, and Becorath to Aphiah—all Benjaminites. Such genealogical details established Saul's tribal credentials and family standing within Benjamin. The name may derive from roots suggesting binding or package, though the significance is unclear. These ancestral names anchored Israel's first king within Benjamin's tribal structure, providing legitimacy and context for his selection.
