Shaul (shôl), in the Bible. 1 Son of Simeon, eponym of the Shaulites. 2 King of Edom. An alternate form is Saul. 3 Same as Joel Joel (jō`əl), in the Bible. SaulHebrew Shaul(flourished 11th century BC, Israel) First king of Israel (r. 1021–1000 BC). All that is known of Saul comes from the biblical books of Samuel I and II. He was anointed king by the prophet Samuel, as a concession to popular pressure, after delivering the town of Jabesh-Gilead from Ammonite oppression. Samuel's rejection of Saul and Saul's jealousy of David led to Saul's decline. He died battling the Philistines at Mount Gilboa; David delivered the Israelites and paid tribute to the fallen Saul.
