From the Tribe of Benjamin to King Saul: Legacy, Identity, and God's Purpose (1 Chronicles 8)

What can a long list of names in 1 Chronicles Chapter 8—focused on the tribe of Benjamin—teach us today? In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we explore how God uses ordinary people, often from difficult backgrounds, to shape the story of a nation. This genealogy leads us to King Saul, Israel’s first monarch, and reminds us that even flawed leaders and families play important roles in God’s unfolding plan.

We’ll dig into the tribe’s historical and political significance, reflect on the power of family legacy, and consider what it means to carry purpose in your lineage. This isn’t just ancient history—it’s a reminder that your name, story, and origin matter.
