Usage: Shaul is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, primarily referring to individuals named Saul. The most notable figure is Saul, the first king of Israel. Context: • Saul, the First King of Israel: Saul, son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin, was anointed by the prophet Samuel as the first king of Israel. His reign is detailed in the books of 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel. Saul's kingship marked the transition from a tribal confederation to a centralized monarchy. Despite his promising start, Saul's reign was marred by disobedience to God's commands, leading to his rejection by God in favor of David. Key events in Saul's life include his anointing (1 Samuel 10:1), his military victories and failures, his complex relationship with David, and his tragic death in battle against the Philistines (1 Samuel 31:4).
