SHAUL; SHAULITES

sha'-ul, sha'-ul-its (sha'ul; Saoul):
(1) A king of Edom (Gen 36:37 ff = 1 Ch 1:48 ff).
(2) A son of Simeon (Gen 46:10; Ex 6:15; Nu 26:13; 1 Ch 4:24). The clan was of notoriously impure stock, and, therefore, Shaul is called "the son of a Canaanitish woman" (Gen 46:10; Ex 6:15); the clan was of mixed Israelite and Canaanitish descent. The patronymic Shaulites is found in Nu 26:13.
(3) An ancestor of Samuel (1 Ch 6:24 (Hebrew 9)); in 1 Ch 6:36 he is called "Joel."
