וּ/לְ/שָׁא֣וּל
𐤅/𐤋/𐤔𐤀𐤅𐤋
Shaul
and-to-Saul
Proper name, typically masculine: Shaul. In narrative contexts, refers primarily to: (1) Saul, the first king of Israel; (2) an Edomite chief listed in Genesis; (3) a son of Simeon; (4) a Benjamite ancestor. The name is derived from the idea of 'asked for, requested', reflecting the broader root sense of a request or demand, but as a personal name functions simply as a designation rather than bearing continual lexical sense. In post-biblical contexts, the name is preserved in later tradition as Saul.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7586-04
and to Shaul
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + preposition לְ + proper masculine singular name (שָׁאוּל). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וּ (and) plus the preposition לְ (to) attached to the proper name שָׁאוּל (Shaul). As a personal name derived from the passive participle "asked for," its lexical sense is backgrounded, so it functions here simply as a designation with prefixed particles preserved. |
