- The Tribe of Benjamin was one of the twelve biblical Tribes of Israel. According to the Bible, following the completion of the conquest of Canaan by the Israelite tribes after about 1200 BCE, Joshua allocated the land among the twelve tribes. To Benjamin he assigned the territory between that of Ephraim to the north and Judah to the south, with the Jordan River as the eastern border, and included many historically important cities, such as Bethel, Gibeah, and encroached on the northern hills of Jerusalem. However, even by the time of the prophetess Deborah, Bethel is described as being in the land of the Tribe of Ephraim. Some twenty years after the breakup of the United Monarchy, Abijah, the second king of Kingdom of Judah, defeated Jeroboam of Israel and took back the towns of Bethel, Jeshanah and Ephron, with their surrounding villages. Ephron is believed to be the Ophrah that was also allocated to the Tribe of Benjamin by Joshua. Its situation, between the leading tribe of the Kingdom of Israel (Ephraim), and the leading tribe of the Kingdom of Judah (Judah), is seemingly prophesied in the Blessing of Moses, where it is described as dwelling between YHWH's shoulders. Textual scholars view this as a postdiction - maintining that the poem was written long after the tribe had settled there. From after the conquest of the land by Joshua until the formation of the first Kingdom of Israel in c. 1050 BCE, the Tribe of Benjamin was a part of a loose confederation of Israelite tribes. No central government existed, and in times of crisis the people were led by ad hoc leaders known as Judges. With the growth of the threat from Philistine incursions, the Israelite tribes decided to form a strong centralised monarchy to meet the challenge. The first king of this new entity was Saul, who came from the Tribe of Benjamin, which at the time was the smallest of the tribes. After the death of Saul, all the tribes other than Judah remained loyal to the House of Saul, but after the death of Ish-bosheth, Saul's son and successor to the throne of Israel, the Tribe of Benjamin joined the northern Israelite tribes in making David, who was then the king of Judah, king of a re-united Kingdom of Israel. However, on the accession of Rehoboam, David's grandson, in c. 930 BCE the northern tribes split from the House of David to reform a Kingdom of Israel as the Northern Kingdom. However, this time the Tribe of Benjamin remained loyal to the House of David, and remained a part of the Kingdom of Judah, in which it remained until Judah was conquered by Babylon in c. 586 BCE and the population deported. When the Jews returned from Babylonian exile, residual tribal affiliations were abandoned, probably because of the impossibility of reestablishing previous tribal land holdings. However, the special religious roles decreed for the Levis and Kohanim were preserved, and the general population was called Israel. These designations are still followed today.
- La tribu de Benjamin est une des douze tribus d'Israël. Son nom vient de Benjamin. C'est notamment de cette tribu qu'est issu Saül, premier roi d'Israël, auquel succèdera le roi David. Le territoire de cette tribu est situé entre la Tribu d'Éphraïm au Nord, la Tribu de Juda au Sud, la Tribu de Dan à l'Ouest, et le Jourdain à l'Est. Ses villes principales étaient Jérusalem, Jéricho, Béthel et Gabaon. Aussi, la tribu de Benjamin fait partie des tribus qui constituent le royaume de Juda après le schisme avec les tribus du nord.
- De stam Benjamin is een van de twaalf stammen van de Israëlieten. De stam bestaat uit nakomelingen van de twaalfde en jongste zoon van Jakob, Benjamin. Benjamin was de kleinste en minst belangrijke stam van het oude Israël. In het Bijbelboek Rechters (hoofdstukken 19-21) wordt beschreven hoe de stam Benjamin door de andere stammen van Israël vrijwel wordt uitgeroeid als wraak voor de groepsverkrachting van een Levitische vrouw in Gadea, een Benjamitische stad. Om te voorkomen dat de stam zou uitsterven, werden uit de stad Jabes 400 maagden gehaald die als echtgenote van de overlevenden konden dienen. Bij de scheuring van Israël, sloot Benjamin zich aan bij Juda en samen vormden ze het koninkrijk Juda. Bekende leden van de stam Benjamin zijn de rechter Ehud, de eerste koning van Israël Saul en de apostel Paulus.
- A tribo de Benjamim era uma das doze tribos de Israel. Recebeu o nome do filho mais novo de Jacob (Israel) e Raquel. As pessoas desta tribo eram chamados benjamitas. Na altura da divisão de Canaan, ficou com o território entre Efraim a Norte e Judá a Sul. Embora fosse um território pequeno e montanhoso, era fértil e incluía cidades importantes como Jerusalém, Jericó, Betel, Gibeon e Mispá entre outras. Um benjamita importante foi Eúd, o segundo juiz referenciado no Livro de Juízes. Saul, o primeiro rei de Israel oficialmente reconhecido como tal, era benjamita, filho de Quis. A partir daí, a linhagem real passou a ser da Tribo de Judá. Quase que a tribo foi aniquilada pelas restantes tribos por ter protegido os habitantes de Gibea. A história encontra-se no Livro de Juízes nos capítulos 19, 20 e 21. Quando se deu a divisão do reino, Benjamim permaneceu fiel à casa de David e, portanto, formou um reino com a Tribo de Judá, ao passo que as restantes dez tribos (também chamadas de Tribos do Norte) formavam um outro reino Israel. Juntamente com Israel, os benjamitas foram dos que mais engrossaram o número dos que regressaram.
