Talut () is a divinely appointed king mentioned in the Quran traditionally identified with the Israelite king Saul, as he is stated to be the Malik () of Israelites.
== Name == The name Talut (طالوت) has an uncertain etymology. Unlike most other figures found in both the Hebrew Bible and the Quran, the Arabic name is not similar to the Hebrew name (). According to Muslim exegetes, Ṭālūt means "tall" and refers to the extraordinary stature of Saul, which would be consistent with the Biblical account. In explanation of the name, exegetes such as the 11th-century scholar Abu ʾIsḥāq Aṯ-Ṯaʿlabī hold that at this time, the future king of Israel was to be recognized by his height; Samuel set up a measure, but no person in Israel reached the sufficient height except for Saul. The name is also similar to the name of Goliath () in the Quran.
