The author is using a common expression of his culture. He means that Saul breathed more deeply and slowly after the spirit left him, indicating that he felt relief. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [And Saul breathed easy] or [And Saul felt relief]
