Benjamin. This tribe is now dealt with, and brought down to Saul and Jonathan. The date of writing is Post-Exilic. See 1Ch_8:28; 1Ch_9:3, 1Ch_9:27, and compare with Ezr 2and Neh 10, which show that Benjamin was brought back to the Land after being nearly extinguished in Judges 20. Loyalty to Judah and the house of God had been rewarded. Note the passages which connect Benjamin with Judah and with the blessings of the return from Babylon: Ezr_1:8; Ezra 2; Ezr_4:1. Nehemiah 7; Neh_11:4, Neh_11:7, Neh_11:31; Neh_12:34. The genealogy of Saul leads up to the subject of the book. begat. The former genealogy (1Ch_7:6-12) is not full, but specifies only the families to be dealt with later.
