Strong's Lexicon Qish: Kish Original Word: קִישׁ Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Qiysh Pronunciation: keesh Phonetic Spelling: (keesh) Definition: Kish Meaning: Kish Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to bend or bow Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Kish in the Septuagint or the New Testament, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The name "Kish" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several individuals, most notably the father of King Saul, the first king of Israel. Kish is depicted as a Benjamite, a man of standing and wealth, which is significant in the narrative of Saul's rise to kingship. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or destiny. Kish, being a Benjamite, belonged to one of the smaller tribes of Israel. The tribe of Benjamin had a tumultuous history, including near extinction in the events described in the Book of Judges. Kish's lineage and status as a man of wealth and influence would have been important in the socio-political landscape of Israel during the time of the judges and the establishment of the monarchy.
