The Tribe of Benjamin was one of the
Tribes of Israel. At its height, the territory it occupied was sandwiched 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. Its situation, between the leading tribe of the
Kingdom of Israel (Ephraim), and the leading tribe of the
Kingdom of Judah (Judah), is seemingly prophecied in the
Blessing of Moses, where it is described as dwelling between
YHWH's shoulders, though
textual scholars view this as
postdiction - the poem being written long after the tribe had settled there.
