Zecher (or Zechariah), a son of Abiel (or 'Jeiel'), the father (and founder) of Gibeon.
Zecher (also called Zechariah in the parallel genealogy of 1 Chronicles 9:37) was a son of Abiel (Jeiel), the founding father of Gibeon, listed in the Benjamite genealogy of 1 Chronicles 8:31. He belongs to the ancestral line of King Saul through his grandfather Ner and great-grandfather Kish. The name variation between Zecher and Zechariah in the parallel lists reflects a scribal transmission difference in the genealogical records.
