I thought because Benjamin was the youngest brother, he must have the smallest tribe, but that wasn't right. The tribe of Benjamin was the smallest because they almost got wiped out at the end of Judges. I had no idea (until now). The apostle Paul was from the tribe of Benjamin, so I'm glad the tribe survived.<br />Thanks for commenting. I'm impressed with your Bible Bowl memorization. Way to go! Barbara M.
