Shual, 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.
