Tribe of Benjamin, House of Israel, down to 600 men

Christian Party

Regardless of what jews say, the Tribe of Benjamin has ALWAYS been of the House of Israel, not the House of Judah

yaakov israel 1 has slandered and insulted us, whined and screamed that we're anti-semites, and called us LIARS, simply for making the above ACCURATE and HONEST observation

what is it with these jews that quoting Scripture to them is like pressing a cross on Dracula's face?

2Sa 2:7 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.

2Sa 2:8 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;

2Sa 2:9 And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.

2Sa 2:10 Ish-bosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.

Tribe of Benjamin, House of Israel, down to 600 men

Jdg 20:46 So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valor.

1Ki 12:21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

Note that the way this verse is worded proves that the Tribe of Benjamin, even though they fought on the side of the House of Judah against the House of Israel, proves that the Tribe of Benjamin is separate and independent from the House of Judah. Since Scripture shows that Benjamin was originally of the House of Israel, and no verse exists which suggests that Benjamin left the House of Israel and joined the House of Judah, the only conclusion can be that the Tribe of Benjamin was one of the twelve tribes of the House of Israel.
