This tribe held a significant position in Israel's history, being the tribe of King Saul, Israel's first king, and later the Apostle Paul. 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 reputation for bravery and skill in battle is noted in several biblical accounts, such as in <a href="/judges/20.htm">Judges 20</a>. The inclusion of a representative from Benjamin in the exploration of Canaan highlights the tribe's importance and involvement in the collective mission of Israel.<p><b>Palti son of Raphu</b><br>Palti, whose name means "my deliverance" or "escape," was chosen as the representative from the tribe of Benjamin to spy out the land of Canaan. The mention of his father, Raphu, provides a genealogical link, emphasizing the importance of family lineage and heritage in Israelite society. While Palti himself does not play a prominent role in the biblical narrative beyond this account, his participation in the reconnaissance mission underscores the collective responsibility and unity among the tribes in the task of exploring the Promised Land. This mission, however, ultimately led to a pivotal moment in Israel's history, as the report brought back by the spies influenced the Israelites' faith and decision-making regarding entering Canaan.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/palti.htm">Palti</a></b><br>A representative from the tribe of Benjamin, chosen to spy out the land of Canaan.
