“Of the children of Benjamin, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;”
From the children of Benjamin, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses — Benjamin, Jacob's youngest son and Rachel's second child, appears in the enumeration with full tribal status. Benjamin's later historical significance (Saul's tribe, supporter of David, refuge of the southern kingdom) is rooted in this census recognition.
