I Chronicles 7:6 The sons of *Benjamin were, Bela, and Bechor, and Jadihel, three.

Genesis 46:13.
Benjamin; a man, perhaps, of the tribe of Issachar. See ver. 10. Or the patriarch had originally ten sons, (Genesis 46:21.) or grandsons, five of whom only had children, and perhaps two of their families perished entirely in the war with the other tribes; (Judges 20:46.) so that, under David, only three branches were acknowledged. (Calmet) --- Jadihel, or Asbel in Genesis.
