The tribe is known for its warrior spirit and played a significant role in Israel's history. Benjamin's territory was strategically located between the tribes of Judah and Ephraim, which often placed it at the center of political and military events. The tribe's loyalty to the house of David is notable, as seen in the support of King Saul, who was a Benjamite, and later in the division of the kingdom when Benjamin remained with Judah.<p><b>and their registration numbered 45,600.</b><br>This census was conducted in the plains of Moab by the Jordan River, near Jericho, as the Israelites prepared to enter the Promised Land. The number 45,600 represents the fighting men of the tribe of Benjamin, indicating a significant increase from the previous census in <a href="/numbers/1.htm">Numbers 1</a>, where they numbered 35,400. This growth reflects God's blessing and the tribe's resilience despite the challenges faced during the wilderness journey. The census was crucial for organizing the military and distributing the land among the tribes.
