This practice underscores the importance of divine relationship and favor in the lives of the Israelites. The mention of Elidad as the son of Chislon provides a genealogical link, emphasizing the importance of family lineage and heritage in Israelite society. Chislon, though not widely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, would have been a recognized figure within his tribe, indicating a family of some standing.<p><b>from the tribe of Benjamin</b><br>The tribe of Benjamin was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel. This tribe held a significant position in Israel's history, being located between the powerful tribes of Judah and Ephraim. The territory of Benjamin included Jerusalem, which later became the political and spiritual center of Israel. Historically, the tribe of Benjamin was known for its warriors, as seen in <a href="/judges/20.htm">Judges 20</a>, where they are described as skilled fighters. The tribe's location and military prowess often placed it at the center of Israel's political and military affairs. Additionally, the tribe of Benjamin produced several notable biblical figures, including King Saul, the first king of Israel, and the Apostle Paul, originally named Saul, who was a Benjamite. The inclusion of a representative from Benjamin in the division of the land highlights the tribe's continued importance in the national life of Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/elidad.htm">Elidad</a></b><br>Elidad is identified as a leader from the tribe of Benjamin.
