The Tribe of Benjamin
Read the Story
Chapter 8 lists Benjamin's family. Benjamin's firstborn was Bela, and there were many more sons. Many of them were heads of fathers' households.
Some of these chief men lived in Jerusalem. Others lived in Gibeon. One family built the towns of Ono and Lod.
The list then follows the family of Ner and Kish. Kish became the father of Saul, the first king. Saul's son was Jonathan, and Jonathan's son was Merib-baal. Some of the family were archers with many sons and grandsons.
