Reuben was the eldest son of Jacob and Leah. He lost his birthright to Joseph(The first born son of Jacob and Rachel) and it was Joseph who received the blessing from Jacob, which should have gone to Reuben. Reuben became an enemy of Joseph for many years but finally made up.

The tribe of Reuben became of less importance politically, and its members became less as the years went by.
