OF BENJAMIN. (Ch1 7:6-12) The sons of Benjamin--Ten are named in Gen 46:21, but only five later (Ch1 8:1; Num 26:38). Perhaps five of them were distinguished as chiefs of illustrious families, but two having fallen in the bloody wars waged against Benjamin (Jdg 20:46), there remained only three branches of this tribe, and these only are enumerated. Jediael--Or Asbel (Genesis 46. 21).
