Death
When the ancient Kingdom of Israel was divided after Solomon’s death, Benjamin was left with the Tribe of Judah for the purpose of them becoming lightbearers of the message of Christ. Eleven of the twelve apostles were of the tribe of Benjamin. Saul of Tarsus, called much later, was also of Benjamin (Rom. 11:1). The apostles of this tribe were fulfilling their duties as the light-bearers to Israel.
1 Kings 11:36 And to his son I will give one tribe, that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there.
