Saul (Shaul, Sha'ul)
שָׁאוּל
Saul was the first king of Israel. The Biblical story tells that he found kingship as he was searching for his father's lost mares (she-asses).
"Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly, and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he, from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people." 1 Samuel 9, 1-2
