Jaasiel, the son of Abner, is mentioned in 1Ch.11.47 as one of David's mighty warriors. He is listed among the warriors who came to David at Ziklag and helped him in his battles against the raiders (1Ch.12.1-7).

The fact that Jaasiel is identified as the son of Abner suggests that he may have been related to Saul's military commander, Abner, who initially opposed David but later supported him (2Sa.3.6-21).
