In The Bible, we read about two Sauls who live centuries apart.
One was the first king of Israel, who started out good, but later developed a haughty spirit, and lost God's favor. You can read about this one beginning in 1 Samuel chapter 9. King Saul became very jealous of his most valiant warrior, David. Saul tried on many occasions to kill David because of his envy over the attention David received from the people over his great acts. Saul's own son Jonathan became close friends with David, in spite of his father's hatred for David, and the fact that David was many years his junior. David became the second king of Israel after Saul's death.
The second one who was named Saul in the Bible is found in the book of Acts. He is Saul of Tarsus who later was known as Paul. In Bible times a person's name was often changed by God, as if to give the person a new start, or to signify their new assigned role.
In the case of the latter Saul, he was an extreme persecutor of Christians, even sharing in the murder of Stephen, a disciple of Christ. He later was confronted by directly by Jesus from heaven on the road to Damascus, to where he was traveling to further persecute Christians. After this experience, Saul completely changed his life course and became the Christian Apostle Paul. He was even priveledged to write many of the books of the Christian Greek scriptures (or the New Testiment).
David fled from Saul in the Bible to the wilderness and caves of Judah.
In the Bible, Ruben was not specifically mentioned as being related to Saul. Rather, Ruben was one of the twelve sons of Jacob and the ancestor of the tribe of Reuben. Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin.
Saul is first mentioned in the bible in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 9 verse 1. there was a man the sun of Kish mamed Saul.
