Barnes' Notes
But who is their father - This is a very obscure phrase. If by "father" be intended the head or leader (compare I Chronicles 25:6; II Kings 2:12) of the prophets, the question means: "What kind of leader can they have to admit such a person as Saul into the company?" Some versions read "Who is his father?" in the sense: "Who would have expected Kish to have a son among the prophets?" (Compare Matthew 13:54-55.)
