What was the reason for the Benjamite war?

The Benjamite War, also known as the Civil War of Israel, occurred in the Book of Judges in the Bible. It was sparked by a horrific incident involving a Levite and his concubine in the city of Gibeah, where the men of Benjamin committed acts of violence and sexual assault. In response to this atrocity, the other Israelite tribes sought justice and demanded the punishment of the perpetrators, leading to a conflict between the tribe of Benjamin and the rest of Israel. The war ultimately resulted in significant loss of life and the near annihilation of the Benjamite tribe.

If you are talking about Jonathan, Saul's son, then I don't think it tells you who she is but if you look for who Saul married than assume that she is Jonathan's mother. Jonathan was the eldest and favorite son of Benjamite King Saul, evidently by Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. (1Sa 14:49, 50) Jonathan is chiefly noted for his unselfish friendship for and support of David as Jehovah's king-designate.

Who was the apostle Paul?

1 SAMUEL 9:1-2(NEW KING JAMES VERSION)It says in the chapter and verse-There was a man of Benjamin whose name was KISH the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. And he (KISH) had a choice and handsome son whose name was Saul. The Above anser is ENTIRELY INCORRECT. That is the lineage of King Saul who was King before King David. They lived about 1,000 years before the Saul who became the Apostle Paul. I haven't found any record of the Father of Paul, but if I do then I will let you know.


When Saul became Paul he was what?

A Benjamite of the city of Tarsus in Asia Minor who persecuted Christ's followers but later became an apostle of Jesus Christ. (Acts 9:1, 4, 17; 11:25; 21:39; Philippians 3:5) In all of his letters he referred to himself by his Latin name Paul. He was a Roman citizen from birth (Acts 22:28), his father having perhaps been granted citizenship for services rendered. Paul probably learned the trade of tentmaker from his father. (Acts 18:3) But, at Jerusalem, he received instruction from the learned Pharisee Gamaliel, suggesting that Paul was from a prominent family. (Acts 22:3; 5:34)
