Magen Shaul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Magen Shaul (Hebrew: מגן שאול) is a moshav near Gilboa Mountain in northern Israel. It belongs to the Gilboa Regional Council.

The moshav was founded in 1976 by children of families who lived in other moshavim of the Ta'anakh region.

The name "Magen Shaul" is borrowed from the elegy that David proclaimed after Saul died in a battle against the Philistines in the surrounding area.[1]
