No, Benjamin was a descendant of Abraham (through Sarah), Isaac, and Jacob.

Answer 2

No, in chronicled terms.

Benjamin was the descendant of Jacob and Rachel, she being his birth mother - 'In truth the sons of Jacob were twelve...the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin...', ref. Genesis, chapter 35.

We see among those who came with Jacob to Egypt - 'The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph and Benjamin.', Genesis 46:19, followed by, Genesis 46:26, 'All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls three score and six;' ref. Holy Bible, King James Version.

Benjamin is seen definitively as being the descendant of Jacob who was the descendant of Isaac who was the descendant of Abraham and Sarah, the freewoman.

Jacob is chronicled as a descendant of Isaac and Rebekah:

After Isaac 'intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived .', where in due course, Rebekah gives birth to Jacob, as described in Genesis 25.

Isaac is chronicled as a descendant of Abraham and Sarah:

God spoke to Abram,'but he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be thine heir.' - Genesis 15. 'For Sarah conceived and bare Abraham a son...called Isaac' - Genesis 21.

Hagar is designated - Hagar the Egyptian, maid of Sarah in Genesis 25:12 and as an Egyptian descendant, is defined to have no common ancestry with Abraham and Sarah, or with their branch of family ties.

Blood Relationships:

Abraham and Sarah→Issac and Rebekah→Jacob and Rachel→Benjamin. This shows that Benjamin is not a descendant of Hagar.

If Rebekah and/or Rachel are found to have a blood relationship in some manner with Hagar then the answer to this question should be amended.

Some believe he was. Abraham was given his wife's maid servernt to sleep with. And her name was hagar. Hagar gave birth to ismael, whos decendants are known as "Arabs" and include Muslims. The other son was isaac, from whom we get the Jews. It is very possible that he did infact come from Abraham
