Tribe of Israel
Benjamin
About
Tribe descended from Jacob's youngest son, born to Rachel near Bethlehem. Received a small but strategically vital territory between Judah and Ephraim, including Jerusalem on its border. Produced Israel's first king (Saul) and later the apostle Paul.
Jacob's blessing
Genesis 49:27 (WEB)Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.
