About

The twelfth son of Jacob and second son of Rachel, who died giving birth to him (Genesis 35:16-18). Rachel named him Ben-oni ('son of my sorrow') but Jacob renamed him Benjamin ('son of my right hand'). His tribe produced Israel's first king (Saul) and the apostle Paul. Jacob was fiercely protective of him after losing Joseph.
