Malchi-shua — a son of King Saul, meaning 'my king is opulence'
Malchi-shua was one of the sons of King Saul, listed alongside Jonathan, Ishvi, and others. The name likely means 'my king is opulence' or 'my king is salvation,' with the divine element understood as a reference to Yahweh. He fell with his father and brothers on Mount Gilboa in the catastrophic battle against the Philistines (1 Sam 31:2; 1 Chr 10:2). The Chronicles genealogies preserve his name in both Benjaminite lists (1 Chr 8:33; 9:39), sometimes hyphenated as Malki-shua.
