This chapter gives a detailed genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin focusing especially on Saul who was Israel's first king. Jonathan, David's great friend and Saul's son, is also mentioned, though he did not become king after his father's death because God eliminated Saul's dynasty owing to his disobedience. The families of Benjamin living in Jerusalem are also mentioned. This detailed genealogy sets the scene for the following chapters of this book which cover the history of the tribe of Benjamin including the reign and death of King Saul.
