| Summary: | The biblical texts present Saul ben Kish from Benjamin as the first king over Israel. With this description, his identity is defined triply: by means of his father’s name, by means of his kinship affiliation, and by means of the entity over which he ruled. The article follows the literary stratification of the Saul tradition and investigates in which way both the character of Saul and the identity of Israel underwent changes from the earliest reconstructable layers until the Chronistic writings. Most attention is given to the early stages of a) an independent Saul story, b) a Samuel-Saul-cycle, and c) its connection with the David tradition. |
