Saul (Edomite king)

For other uses, see Saul (disambiguation).

Saul was a king of Edom mentioned in the Bible, in Genesis 36:31-43. He succeeded Samlah of Masrekah in the apparently elective kingship of the early Edomites. He is described as being from "Rehoboth on the River". He was succeeded by Baal-hanan ben Achbor.

Although dates and other details of his reign are unknown - as he is not mentioned in any other surviving source - some have speculated that he might be Salatis, the first named Hyksos King.
