Abiel (1 Sam 9,14) was the son of Zeror (1 Sam 9). Abiel (1 Sam 9,14) married Maacah (1 Chron 8-9).2
Jeiel & Abiel are mentioned in two complete different accounts. Abiel in 1 Sam and Jeiel in 1 Chron, but are obviously the same person as both are listed at the father of Ner, father of Kish, father of Saul. There is also the possibility that Abiel is an ancestor of Jeiel and the "son of" lists in 1 Samual have skipped generations.3

There seems to be some confusion in the text about Ner.
We have Jeiel (1 Chron 8-9) as the father of both Ner and Kish (1 Sam) (1 Chronicles 8:29) (2 Samuel 14:51 names the father Abiel, likely and alternate name)
We have Ner as the father of Kish (1 Sam) (1 Chronicles 8:33)
We have Kish (1 Sam) as the father of Saul (many places)
We have Ner as the uncle of Saul (1 Samuel 14:50)
It seems that only 1 Chronicles 8:33 puts Ner in the line. Since father son relationship sometimes skips generations, there could be a second Ner here, except that would put two Ner under Jeiel/Abiel, so unlikely. My best guess is that 1 Chronicles 8:33 is just in error.4
