Abner

Abner (in green) taking Michal away from Paltiel (Morgan Bible, 1240s).

In the Hebrew Bible, Abner (Hebrew: אַבְנֵר ʾAḇnēr) was the cousin of King Saul and the commander-in-chief of his army. His name also appears as אבינר בן נר "Abiner son of Ner", where the longer form Abiner means "my father is Ner".
