From BiblePortal Wikipedia
Shaul; Shaulites [1]
shā´ul , shā´ul - ı̄ts ( שׁאוּל , shā'ūl ; Σαόλ , Saoúl ):
(1) A king of Edom ( Genesis 36:37 ff = 1 Chronicles 1:48 ff).
(2) A son of Simeon ( Genesis 46:10; Exodus 6:15; Numbers 26:13; 1 Chronicles 4:24 ). The clan was of notoriously impure stock, and, therefore, Shaul is called "the son of a Canaanitish woman" ( Genesis 46:10; Exodus 6:15 ); the clan was of mixed Israelite and Canaanitish descent. The patronymic Shaulites is found in Numbers 26:13 .
(3) An ancestor of Samuel ( 1 Chronicles 6:24 (Hebrew 9)); in 1 Chronicles 6:36 he is called "Joel."
