Why is Saul’s name repeated twice?

Actes 9:4 (NEG79)

4 Il tomba par terre, et il entendit une voix qui lui disait: Saul, Saul, pourquoi me persécutes-tu?

A voice speaking from the light recalls God’s revelation to Moses (Exodus 3:3; Exodus 19:16–20). The twofold repetition of Saul’s name makes it clear that he is being addressed and recalls the prophetic calls of Moses and Samuel.1
