KING SAUL OF ISRAEL

1 SAMUEL 9:1-2 

1There was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.

1 SAMUEL 11:15

¹⁷ And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus  who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
¹⁸ Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized.

ACTS 13:9

Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him
