Saul Saul

Saul is the first king of Israel; son of Kish.

The word shaal (sha'al 2303) means to ask, inquire, borrow, beg. Derivatives: sheela (she'la 2303a) means request, demand. The derivative sheol (she'ol 2303c), which is identical to the name Saul, curiously enough is the famous word Sheol, meaning grave, pit, or in some applications, hell.

The name Saul means Asked For.
