Hi,
"Rabbi Shimon ben
Lakish taught: Shaul merited to take the throne only because his
grandfather lit lamps for the community.
"Thus he was named Ner
[lamp] – Divrei haYamim I 8:33 says, "Ner fathered Kish", but
Shemuel I 9:1 says "Kish the son of Aviel" – Shaul's grandfather's name
was Aviel, but because he lit lamps for the community, he was also called Ner."
(Talmud Yerushalmi Sheviit 3:7)
המצפה לישועה,
Mordechai
