Shual (or Ulla) is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 7:36,39 as part of the genealogy of the tribe of Asher. He is listed as one of the sons of Zophah, who was a descendant of Asher through Beriah. The genealogy traces the lineage of various clans and families within the tribe of Asher, providing insight into the tribal structure and organization. In verse 39, Shual is mentioned again, this time with the alternative name Ulla. This suggests that he may have been known by both names or that there was some variation in the transmission of the genealogical records.
