Quick answer

Abdon, Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab and others are named again as the Gibeonite family. The Chronicler's repetition underscores the importance of Saul's lineage at this turning point. Reviewing the family just before chapter ten emphasizes that what follows is the fate of a real, well-documented royal house under God's judgment.
