Commentary on Joshua 18:11
Theological / DevotionalBenjamin came up. Evidently the providence of God so ordered it that the children of Benjamin should have the first lot of these seven, next to the tribe of Joseph. Joseph and Benjamin were brothers, the only sons of Rachel, Jacob’s beloved wife. Benjamin later furnished the first king of Israel, Saul. The important city of Jerusalem fell in her territory. The city seems for a time to have been the joint possession of Judah and Benjamin, according to Judges 1:8, 21, and 1 Chron. 8:28, 32. Later Jerusalem became the royal city of the kings of the house of Judah.
