Саул (выпрошенный, вымоленный) — имя четырех лиц, упоминаемых в свящ. книгах Ветхого Завета:
а) (Genesis 36:37, 38) князь идумейский из Реховофа, что при реке, вероятно — Евфрате.
б) (Genesis 46:10) из сынов Симеона, сына патр. Иакова, сына хананеянки. От упомянутого здесь Саула происходило поколение Саулово.
