Gen 46:21
  Interlinear
The sons of Benjamin [10]:
Bela and Becher and Ashbel, Gera and Naman, Ehi and Rosh, Moppim and Hoppim and Ard.
[See also Num. 26:38–41; 1 Chron. 7:6.]
Judg 3:15
  Interlinear
But when the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord (Yahweh), the Lord (Yahweh) raised up a savior (deliverer), Ehud, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, a left-handed man, and the sons of Israel sent a gift with him to Eglon, king of Moab.
[The name Benjamin literally means "son of the right hand." The author notes that Ehud was left-handed, a trait that would prove decisive for the outcome of this story, see verses 16 and 21. The Benjaminites were known for their skill in using slings with their left hand (Judges 20:16).]
