“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder.”

“ Benjamin is a hungry wolf. In the morning he eats what he has killed. In the evening he shares what he has stolen.”

“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, in the morning devouring the prey and at evening dividing the spoil.”

“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, devouring his enemies in the morning and dividing his plunder in the evening.”

Benjamin is a wolf; he tears his prey. In the morning he devours the prey, and in the evening he divides the plunder.”

“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he devours the prey, And in the evening he divides the spoils.”

“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he shall devour the prey, And at night he shall divide the spoil.”

Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth: In the morning he shall devour the prey, And at even he shall divide the spoil.

Benjamin is a wolf; he tears his prey. In the morning he devours the prey, and in the evening he divides the plunder.”

Benjamin shall ravin[ as] a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.

Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning devouring the prey, and in the evening dividing the plunder.”

The children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day destroyed twenty- two thousand of the Israelite men down to the ground.

Benjamin went out against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men. All these drew the sword.

As her soul was departing( for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

Her princes within it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.

There is a conspiracy of her prophets within it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made many widows within it.

About Benjamin he said,“ The beloved of Yahweh will dwell in safety by him. He covers him all day long. He dwells between his shoulders.”

Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said,“ What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.God’s Spirit came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger burned hot.He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying,“ Whoever doesn’t come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out as one man.He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.They said to the messengers who came,“ Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead,‘ Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.’” The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.Therefore the men of Jabesh said,“ Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.”On the next day, Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

Behold, a people rises up as a lioness. As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”

“ Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.

Now it fell on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor,“ Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people who were with him were about six hundred men;including Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor,“ Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us; for there is no restraint on Yahweh to save by many or by few.”His armor bearer said to him,“ Do all that is in your heart. Turn and, behold, I am with you according to your heart.”Then Jonathan said,“ Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.If they say this to us,‘ Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.But if they say this,‘ Come up to us!’ then we will go up; for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said,“ Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said,“ Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer,“ Come up after me; for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the raiders, also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.

But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.

But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left- handed man. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh.He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.When Ehud had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute.But he himself turned back from the stone idols that were by Gilgal, and said,“ I have a secret message for you, O king.” The king said,“ Keep silence!” All who stood by him left him.Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said,“ I have a message from God to you.” He arose out of his seat.Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.The handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn’t draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.Then Ehud went out onto the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.After he had gone, his servants came and saw that the doors of the upper room were locked. They said,“ Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room.”They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn’t open the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their lord had fallen down dead on the floor.Ehud escaped while they waited, passed beyond the stone idols, and escaped to Seirah.When he had come, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he led them.He said to them,“ Follow me; for Yahweh has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn’t allow any man to pass over.They struck at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, every strong man and every man of valor. No man escaped.

Her princes within her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.

Therefore a lion out of the forest will kill them. A wolf of the evenings will destroy them. A leopard will watch against their cities. Everyone who goes out there will be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are many and their backsliding has increased.

circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

“ Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.

Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.A champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span went out.He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he wore a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.He had bronze shin armor on his legs, and a bronze javelin between his shoulders.The staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. His shield bearer went before him.He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them,“ Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.”The Philistine said,“ I defy the armies of Israel today! Give me a man, that we may fight together!”When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. The man was an elderly old man in the days of Saul.The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.David was the youngest; and the three oldest followed Saul.Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.The Philistine came near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.Jesse said to David his son,“ Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers;and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news.”Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the place of the wagons, as the army which was going out to the fight shouted for the battle.Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words; and David heard them.All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.The men of Israel said,“ Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.”David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying,“ What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”The people answered him in this way, saying,“ So shall it be done to the man who kills him.”Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burned against David, and he said,“ Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the naughtiness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.”David said,“ What have I now done? Is there not a cause?”He turned away from him toward another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way.When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.David said to Saul,“ Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”Saul said to David,“ You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”David said to Saul,“ Your servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb out of the flock,I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him.Your servant struck both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.”David said,“ Yahweh who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David,“ Go! Yahweh will be with you.”Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.David strapped his sword on his clothing, and he tried to move; for he had not tested it. David said to Saul,“ I can’t go with these; for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off.He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine.The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.When the Philistine looked around, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.The Philistine said to David,“ Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods.The Philistine said to David,“ Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field.”Then David said to the Philistine,“ You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.Today, Yahweh will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you, and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,and that all this assembly may know that Yahweh doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is Yahweh’s, and he will give you into our hand.”When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.Then David ran, stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.The men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as Gai and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron.The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines and they plundered their camp.David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army,“ Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner said,“ As your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.”The king said,“ Inquire whose son the young man is!”As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.Saul said to him,“ Whose son are you, you young man?” David answered,“ I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
