Saul (1055-1033 B.C.), the first king of the Hebrews. He was of the tribe of Benjamin. Historically, he was, without doubt, a brave leader of the Israelites against the Philistines, Amalekites, and other surrounding nations. He was sorely wounded in the battle against the Philistines on Mount Gilboa. Rather than meet death at the enemy's hand, he fell on his own sword. The Scriptural account of his coronation, his leadership of Israel, and his jealousy of David may be read in the First Book of Samuel. See David
