Kish, a Hebrew proper name borne by several men, most notably the father of King Saul
A masculine proper name meaning perhaps 'bow' or 'snare.' The most prominent bearer is the Benjamite father of King Saul (1 Sam 9:1, 3; 10:11, 21; 14:51), whose genealogy is traced in 1 Chronicles 8:30, 33 and 9:36, 39. Other individuals named Kish include a Levite in David's era (1 Chr 23:21–22; 24:29) and an ancestor of Mordecai (Esth 2:5). Translations across languages uniformly transliterate the name—Spanish 'Cis' or 'Kish,' French 'Kisch,' German 'Kisch'—reflecting its stable identity as a personal name.
