shual, the land of in Smith's Bible Dictionary

a district named in #1Sa 13:17| only. It is pretty certain from the passage that it lay north of Michmash. If therefore it be identical with the "land of Shalim" #1Sa 9:4| --as is not impossible --we have the first and only clue yet obtained to Saul's journey in quest of the asses. The name Shual has not yet been identified.
