“ 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 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.”

“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.”

Then the sons of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and struck to the ground on that day twenty two thousand men of Israel.

And Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah the second day and struck to the ground again eighteen thousand men of the sons of Israel; all of these drew the sword.

And it came about, as her soul was departing( for she died), that she named him Ben oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

Her leaders within her are like wolves tearing the prey, by shedding blood and destroying lives in order to make dishonest profit.

There is a conspiracy of her prophets in her midst like a roaring lion tearing the prey. They have devoured lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in the midst of her.

Of Benjamin he said,“ May the beloved of the Lord live in security beside Him Who shields him all the day long, And he lives between His shoulders.”

Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and spoke these words in the hearing of the people, and all the people raised their voices and wept.Now behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen, and Saul said,“ What is the matter with the people that they weep?” So they reported to him the words of the men of Jabesh.Then the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and he became very angry.He then took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying,“ Whoever does not come out after Saul and after Samuel, the same shall be done to his oxen.” Then the dread of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out as one person.He counted them in Bezek; and the sons of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah, thirty thousand.They said to the messengers who had come,“ This is what you shall say to the men of Jabesh gilead:‘ Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be saved.’ ” So the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh; and they rejoiced.Then the men of Jabesh said,“ Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.”The next morning Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp at the morning watch, and struck and killed the Ammonites until the heat of the day. And those who survived scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;

Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

Behold, a people rises like a lioness, And like a lion it raises itself; It will not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of those slain.”

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

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

Now the day came that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was carrying his armor,“ Come, and let’s cross over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he did not tell his father.Saul was staying on the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree that is in Migron. And the people who were with him numbered about six hundred men;and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the Lord at Shiloh, was wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.Now between the gorges by which Jonathan sought to cross 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 on the north opposite Michmash, and the other on the south opposite Geba.Then Jonathan said to the young man who was carrying his armor,“ Come, and let’s cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men; perhaps the Lord will work for us, because the Lord is not limited to saving by many or by few!”His armor bearer said to him,“ Do everything that is in your heart; turn yourself to it, and here I am with you, as your heart desires.”Then Jonathan said,“ Behold, we are going to cross over to the men and reveal ourselves to them.If they say to us,‘ Wait until we come to you’; then we will stand in our place and not go up to them.But if they say,‘ Come up to us,’ then we will go up, for the Lord has handed them over to us; and this shall be the sign to us.”When the two of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, the Philistines said,“ Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have kept themselves hidden.”So the men of the garrison responded to Jonathan and his armor bearer and said,“ Come up to us and we will inform you of something.” And Jonathan said to his armor bearer,“ Come up after me, for the Lord has handed them over to Israel.”Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor bearer behind him; and the men fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer put some to death after him.Now that first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer inflicted was about twenty men within about half a furrow in an acre of land.And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even the garrison and the raiders trembled, and the earth quaked so that it became a great trembling.

But Saul began ravaging the church, entering house after house; and he would drag away men and women and put them in prison.

But when the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for them, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left handed man. And the sons of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.Now Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length, and he strapped it on his right thigh under his cloak.Then he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.And it came about, when he had finished presenting the tribute, that Ehud sent away the people who had carried the tribute.But he himself turned back from the idols which were at Gilgal, and said,“ I have a secret message for you, O king.” And the king said,“ Silence!” And all who were attending him left him.Then Ehud came to him while he was sitting in his cool roof chamber alone. And Ehud said,“ I have a message from God for you.” And he got up from his seat.Then Ehud reached out with his left hand and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.The hilt of the sword also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade because he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the refuse came out.Then Ehud went out into the vestibule, and shut the doors of the roof chamber behind him, and locked them.When he had left, the king’s servants came and looked, and behold, the doors of the roof chamber were locked; and they said,“ Undoubtedly he is relieving himself in the cool room.”So they waited until it would have been shameful to wait longer; but behold, he did not open the doors of the roof chamber. So they took the key and opened them, and behold, their master had fallen to the floor dead.Now Ehud escaped while they were hesitating, and he passed by the idols and escaped to Seirah.And when he arrived, he blew the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he was leading them.Then he said to them,“ Pursue them, for the Lord has handed your enemies the Moabites over to you.” So they went down after him and took control of the crossing places of the Jordan opposite Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross.They struck and killed about ten thousand Moabites at that time, all robust and valiant men; and no one escaped.

Her leaders within her are roaring lions, Her judges are wolves at evening; They have no bones to gnaw in the morning.

Therefore a lion from the forest will kill them, A wolf of the deserts will destroy them, A leopard is watching their cities. Everyone who goes out of them will be torn in pieces, Because their wrongdoings are many, Their apostasies are numerous.

circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;

“ Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be as wary as serpents, and as innocent as doves.

So I will be like a lion to them; Like a leopard I will lie in wait by the wayside.I will confront them like a bear deprived of her cubs, And I will tear open their chests; I will also devour them there like a lioness, As a wild animal would tear them to pieces.

Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle; and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes dammim.Saul and the men of Israel were assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, and they drew up in battle formation to confront the Philistines.The Philistines were standing on the mountain on one side, while Israel was standing on the mountain on the other side, with the valley between them.Then a champion came forward from the army encampment of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath. His height was six cubits and a span.And he had a bronze helmet on his head, and he wore scale armor which weighed five thousand shekels of bronze.He also had bronze greaves on his legs and a bronze saber slung between his shoulders.The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and his shield carrier walked in front of him.He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel and said to them,“ Why do you come out to draw up in battle formation? Am I not the Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man as your representative and have him come down to me.If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will become your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall become our servants and serve us.”Then the Philistine said,“ I have defied the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man, so that we may fight together.”When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and very fearful.Now David was the son of the Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, the man whose name was Jesse, and he had eight sons. And Jesse was old in the days of Saul, advanced in years among men.The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul to the battle. And the names of his three sons who had gone into the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and second to him, Abinadab, and the third, Shammah.So David was the youngest. Now the three oldest followed Saul,but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s flock at Bethlehem.And the Philistine came forward morning and evening, and took his stand for forty days.Then Jesse said to his son David,“ Take now for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to your brothers.Bring also these ten slices of cheese to the commander of their thousand, and look into the well being of your brothers and bring back confirmation from them.For Saul and they and all the men of Israel are in the Valley of Elah, fighting the Philistines.”So David got up early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper, and took the supplies and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the entrenchment encircling the camp while the army was going out in battle formation, shouting the war cry.Israel and the Philistines drew up in battle formation, army against army.Then David left the baggage in the care of the baggage keeper and ran to the battle line. And he entered and greeted his brothers.As he was speaking with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine from Gath named Goliath, was coming up from the army of the Philistines, and he spoke these same words; and David heard him.When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from him and were very fearful.And the men of Israel said,“ Have you seen this man who is coming up? Surely he is coming up to defy Israel. And it will be that the king will make the man who kills him wealthy with great riches, and will give him his daughter and make his father’s house free in Israel.”Then David said to the men who were standing by him,“ What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and rids Israel of the disgrace? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he has dared to defy the armies of the living God?”The people answered him in agreement with this statement, saying,“ This is what will be done for the man who kills him.”Now Eliab his oldest brother heard him when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burned against David and he said,“ Why is it that you have come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I myself know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down in order to see the battle.”But David said,“ What have I done now? Was it not just a question?”Then he turned away from him to another and said the same thing; and the people replied with the same words as before.When the words that David spoke were heard, they informed Saul, and he sent for him.And David said to Saul,“ May no one’s heart fail on account of him; your servant will go and fight this Philistine!”But Saul said to David,“ You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight him; for you are only a youth, while he has been a warrior since his youth.”But David said to Saul,“ Your servant was tending his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a sheep from the flock,I went out after it and attacked it, and rescued the sheep from its mouth; and when it rose up against me, I grabbed it by its mane and struck it and killed it.Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.”And David said,“ The Lord who saved me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear, He will save me from the hand of this Philistine.” So Saul said to David,“ Go, and may the Lord be with you.”Then Saul clothed David with his military attire and put a bronze helmet on his head, and outfitted him with armor.And David strapped on his sword over his military attire and struggled at walking, for he had not trained with the armor. So David said to Saul,“ I cannot go with these, because I have not trained with them.” And David took them off.Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, that is, in his shepherd’s pouch, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.Then the Philistine came and approached David, with the shield bearer in front of him.When the Philistine looked and saw David, he was contemptuous of him; for he was only a youth, and reddish, with a handsome appearance.So the Philistine said to David,“ Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.The Philistine also said to David,“ Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the wild animals.”But David said to the Philistine,“ You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a saber, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.This day the Lord will hand you over to me, and I will strike you and remove your head from you. Then I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the earth, so that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,and that this entire assembly may know that the Lord does not save by sword or by spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will hand you over to us!”Then it happened, when the Philistine came closer to meet David, that David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.And David put his hand into his bag and took from it a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead. And the stone penetrated his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.So David prevailed over the Philistine with the sling and the stone: he struck the Philistine and killed him, and there was no sword in David’s hand.Then David ran and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and finished him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.Then the men of Israel and Judah rose up and shouted, and they pursued the Philistines as far as the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the Philistine dead lay along the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and Ekron.Then the sons of Israel returned from their close pursuit of the Philistines, and plundered their camps.And David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his weapons in his tent.Now when Saul had seen David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army,“ Abner, whose son is this young man?” And Abner said,“ By your life, O king, I do not know.”And the king said,“ You then, ask whose son the youth is.”So when David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the Philistine’s head in his hand.Then Saul said to him,“ Whose son are you, young man?” And David answered,“ I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
