Gedor is mentioned in 1Ch.8.31 and 1Ch.9.37 as one of the sons of Abiel (or 'Jeiel'), the father (ie re-founder) of Gibeon. Gibeon was a Levitical city located in the territory of Benjamin (Jos.21.17). The genealogies in 1Chronicles 8 and 9 trace the lineage of King Saul, who was from the tribe of Benjamin. Gedor is listed among Jeiel's sons, along with Abdon, Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, Zechariah, and Mikloth (1Ch.8.30-31; 9.36-37). These genealogies demonstrate Saul's Benjamite heritage and his connection to the city of Gibeon. The repetition of the genealogy in both chapters suggests the importance of establishing Saul's lineage and the significance of the Benjamite tribe in Israel's history.
