Strong's Lexicon Shaul: Saul Original Word: שָׁאוּל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁאַל (sha'al), meaning "to ask" or "to inquire." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4569: Σαῦλος (Saulos) - Referring to Saul of Tarsus, later known as Paul. Usage: The name "Shaul" or "Saul" is primarily associated with two significant figures in the Hebrew Bible. The first is Saul, the first king of Israel, anointed by the prophet Samuel. The second is Saul of Tarsus, who is more commonly known as the Apostle Paul in the New Testament. The name implies someone who is "asked for" or "prayed for," reflecting the people's request for a king in 1 Samuel. Cultural and Historical Background: Saul, the first king of Israel, reigned during a transitional period in Israelite history when the tribes of Israel were moving from a loose confederation under judges to a centralized monarchy. His reign is marked by military successes and failures, as well as his complex relationship with David, his successor. Saul's account is a cautionary tale about the dangers of disobedience to God and the importance of humility and faithfulness.
