The Benjamites were said to be a tribe of the Hebrew people, and the Hebrews were in fact polytheistic prior to the Deuteronomistic reforms of King Josiah. However, the designation 'pagan' is ambiguous: for some it refers only to the religion of the early Roman Empire, while for others it refers to all polytheistic beliefs. Although the Hebrews, and therefore the Benjaminites, were polytheistic it is not usual to refer to them as pagans.
