Shual, The Land of
Shu’al, The Land of. A district named in 1Sa 13:17 only. It is pretty certain from the passage, that it lay north of Michmash. If, therefore, it be identical with the “land of Shalim,” 1Sa 9:4 — as is not impossible — we have the first and only clue, yet obtained to Saul’s journey, in quest of the asses. The name, Shual, has not yet been identified.
