Saul emerges in the narrative of the Book of Mormon in a singular reference, used to contextualize a quotation from the prophet Isaiah. He is mentioned in relation to the geographical location Gibeah, identified as “Gibeah of Saul” (2 Nephi 20:29). This citation underlines Saul’s link to Gibeah as it was known during his reign as the first king of ancient Israel. Although the direct details of Saul’s life and reign are not discussed within the Book of Mormon text, his implied legacy is evident through this association with Gibeah. His reign, commencing around 1096 BC, marked a significant transition for the Israelites from a confederation of tribes to a centralized monarchy. Saul’s rule, which lasted approximately 40 years until his death around 1026 BC, was also contemporaneous with the prophet Samuel, who played a crucial role in establishing the Israelite kingship. Saul’s tenure as king was marked by military campaigns and conflicts, especially against the Philistines, and his ultimate downfall and death on Mount Gilboa are well-documented within the Bible rather than the Book of Mormon. Nonetheless, the single reference to “Gibeah of Saul” connects Book of Mormon peoples with a historical and cultural memory encompassing the broader biblical narrative.
