Best Answer

Saul reigned 1049 BC - 1007 BC.

Another Answer:

Here is a consensus of Scholars contributing to the New King James Study Bible views on the dates of King Saul vis-a-vis King David and King Solomon to establish a point:

King Saul reigns: 1050-1010 BC

King David reigns: 1010-970 BC

King Solomon reings: 970-930 BC

What stands out about the above 3 reigns is that they are each 40 years in length. In biblical numerology, the number 40 represents 'testing/trial period/completion.'

Another timeframe from Archbishop Ussher's Chronology lists King Saul as reigning from 1092-1052 BC; King David 1052-1012 BC; and King Solomon 1012-972 BC. Once again each reign lasted 40 years.

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.

How were years referenced before Christ?

Prior to the church settling on BC-AD dates, dates were typically tabulated by the year of the rule of a given king or emperor. When he died and a new ruler took over the year reset to 1 again. The church decided that as Christ was king of kings and still lives, all calendars should be reset to 1 on the year of his birth... they missed by about 4 years.

What does a coin dated 600 bc look like?

No such coin would exist or could exist. BC and AD were only used in AD because of the fact that no one knew 600 years before Christ that Christ would be born in 600 years. Before Christ's birth, years were counted by how long a monarch had reigned. For example, something might have taken place in the 4th year of King ____'s reign.
