Strong's Lexicon Saulos: Saul Original Word: Σαῦλος Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name שָׁאוּל (Sha'ul), meaning "asked for" or "prayed for." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H7586 - שָׁאוּל (Sha'ul), the name of the first king of Israel, which shares the same root and meaning. Usage: The name "Saul" is used in the New Testament to refer to the Apostle Paul before his conversion to Christianity. It is primarily associated with his life as a Pharisee and his initial persecution of Christians. Cultural and Historical Background: Saul was a Jew from Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, and a Roman citizen by birth. He was a Pharisee, educated under Gamaliel, a respected teacher of the Law (Acts 22:3). Saul was zealous for the Jewish traditions and initially opposed the early Christian movement, believing it to be a heretical sect. His transformation from a persecutor of Christians to a devoted apostle of Christ is a significant event in Christian history, illustrating the power of divine grace and redemption.
