Who are Talut and Dhul-Kifl? Thank you.

Saul (Talut) was a king of the Children of Israel in ancient times. His story is mentioned in the Holy Quran in Surat al-Baqarah, from verse 246 to 251. He was Saul (Talut) ibn Qays from the lineage of Benjamin ibn Jacob. Allah appointed him king over his people after they requested it from their prophet. He was an ordinary man, not from a lineage of kings, so they objected to his kingship. As for Dhul-Kifl, he is mentioned in the Holy Quran in Surahs al-Anbiya and Sad, alongside a group of prophets. Some scholars have said that he was a prophet from the prophets of the Children of Israel who guaranteed to a rebellious king that he would enter Paradise if he repented.
