Kish


Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor

Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor. Father of Saul. (1 Samuel 9:1-2)

Saul's donkey search

He sent Saul to search for his family's lost donkeys. (1 Samuel 9:1-2)

Townspeople by Rachel's tomb spread the word to Saul that the donkeys had been found, and Kish was anxious for his son. (1 Samuel 10:2)

When Saul returned from his adventure, he simply told Kish that he inquired of Samuel, who informed him the donkeys had been found. (1 Samuel 10:14-16)

I wonder if he didn't find out his son was Israel's first king until the weird prophesying rumors or even the lots cast to find the king.

Mordecai, the son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjaminite
