Adam to Israel’s Twelve Tribes 49:27 The warlike nature of the small tribe of Benjamin became well known, as exhibited in their archers and slingers (Judg. 20:16; 1 Chr. 8:40; 12:2; 2 Chr. 14:8; 17:17) and in their brazen defense of their wickedness in Gibeah (Judg. 19, 20). Both Sauls in the Bible were from this tribe: the first king in Israel (1 Sam. 9:1, 2) and the Apostle Paul (Phil. 3:5). 49:29–32 Jacob’s dying instructions were fully carried out (cf. 50:12–14). See notes on 23:6–20. 49:31
