How many Sauls are there in the Bible?

Answer 1

Three.

The first: a king of Edom (see Genesis ch.36).

The second: King Saul was Israel's first king. He later committed suicide.

The third, in the New Testament, was Saul, a Pharisee who was considered a great enemy and persecutor of Christians. He was later converted by Christ on the road to Damascus. Soon after, he was more commonly referred to by the name that most people know him as, the Apostle Paul.

Not only did King Saul commit suicide by falling on his sword (1 Samuel 31:4-6), but he was also killed by an Amalekite (2 Samuel 1:2-10), and he was also killed by the Philistines on Gilboa (2 Samuel 21:12), and he was also killed by God (1 Chronicles 10:13-14).
