Ibn Hawqal, a geographer from the tenth century, offers a rare literary creation concerning the Kurdish town of Suhraward. According to this mythical account, Saul, the biblical figure, was from Suhraward:
Shahrazur is a small town, which the Kurds have seized on; also the town Suhraward are in the hands of the Kurds.
Suhraward is a place of which the inhabitants are mostly Kurds and notorious robbers and plunderers. Saul the king of the Children of Israel, was of this place.
