Seror was a man from the tribe of Benjamin and an ancestor of Israel's first king, Saul. He is mentioned in the genealogy as the father of Abiel and the grandfather of Kish, who was Saul's father. His significance lies in his place in the genealogical line that led to Israel's first kingdom.
Seror is mentioned as part of King Saul's lineage when Saul's father Kish is introduced in the narrative. He is the son of Bekorat and the father of Abiel.
1There was a man from Benjamin whose name was Kish son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Becorath, son of Aphiah, son of a Benjaminite; he was a man of standing.

2He had a son named Saul, young and handsome. There was no one among the Israelites more handsome than he; he stood head and shoulders above all the people.
Saul's father Kish, who was a descendant of Zeruor, sent his son Saul out to look for lost donkeys, which led to Saul's meeting with the prophet Samuel.

3Now the donkeys belonging to Kish, Saul's father, had strayed off, and Kish said to his son Saul, "Take one of the servants with you and go look for the donkeys."
21Saul answered, "Am I not a Benjaminite, from the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and is not my clan the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why do you speak to me like this?"
