Saul of the Old Testament who knew David is a different person to the man Saul who was renamed Paul in the New Testament. They lived many years apart. St. Paul is the Saul of the New Testament not the King in the Old Testament.

No. They lived 300 years apart from each other.

Additionally

Saul from the Old Testament was the first King of Israel later to be replaced by David.

Saul from the New Testament persecuted Christians only to be converted and changed his name to Paul.

No. There are, in fact, several different Simeons (or Simons) in The Bible:

1) The prominent Simeon in the Old Testament was a son of Jacob by Leah and patriarch of one of the twelve tribes of Israel (first mentioned in Genesis 29:33).

In the New Testament:

2) A devout Jew who blessed the infant Jesus at the temple (Luke 2)

3) A teacher at the church in Antioch (Acts 13:1)

4) Simeon (or more commonly, "Simon") was the original name of the apostle Peter (John 1:42).

Who was King Paul in the Bible?

There was no King Paul. But there was Paul the Apostle. His name was also Saul. Now there was a Jewish King named Saul, perhaps that's whom you mean. He was the King that ruled over Israel for 40 years, immediately preceeding the reign of King David. The last years of his life he lost God's blessing on his reign, God then picked David to be the next King. Saul was jealous of how God was with David, and so sought to have him killed on numerous occasions. Saul and his son Jonathan (who was very close friends with David before David was king) were both killed in a battle that saw King Saul's forces defeated by the Phillistines.
