The tribe of Reuvain settled in the Transjordan.
In the Bible, Ruben was not specifically mentioned as being related to Saul. Rather, Ruben was one of the twelve sons of Jacob and the ancestor of the tribe of Reuben. Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin.
The first tribe mentioned in the Bible is the tribe of Reuben, which was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Reuben was the firstborn son of Jacob and Leah, and his descendants formed one of the foundational tribes of the Israelite people. The tribes of Israel were established from the twelve sons of Jacob, each representing a distinct lineage. Reuben's significance is highlighted in various biblical narratives, including the allocation of land in the Promised Land.
Reuben was the firstborn son of Jacob (Genesis ch.29) and ancestor of the Israelite tribe that bears his name. He played a part in the saving of his half-brother Joseph (see Genesis ch.37). The inheritance of the tribe of Reuben was in the Transjordan (Numbers ch.32).

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.
The Reubenites are the descendants of Jacob's [Israel's] firstborn son, Reuben."These are the sons of Israel; Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Issachar..." (I Chron.2:1).
Jacob laid a curse on the tribe of Reuben, his firstborn son, during his deathbed blessings in Genesis 49. Reuben's crime was his act of incest with Bilhah, Jacob's concubine, which violated family honor and authority. As a result of this transgression, Jacob declared that Reuben would not excel and would be unstable, reflecting the consequences of his actions on the tribe's future.
The 12 tribes of Israel were descended from the 12 sons of Jacob (see the Book of Genesis in the Bible). When the Israelites entered the land of Canaan, each tribe was allotted part of the country, and Reuben was allotted the land just east of the Dead Sea.
