What Was the Tribe of Benjamin and it's Prophecy? Benjamin’s prophecy appears to come in three parts. Scripture compares his tribe with a wolf. And he devours prey in the morning and divides plunder in the evening. Wolves, as indicated by John Gill’s commentary, show a military valor.

The Tribe of Benjamin. The tribe of Benjamin is described in Jacob's blessing (Gen. xlix. 27) as warlike: "Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth; in the morning he shall devour the prey, at evening he shall divide the spoil."
Benjamin went on to succeed and father many godly individuals. Ehud, a Benjaminite judge, rescued Israel from Moab (Judg. 3:12–30). Jonathan hailed from the tribe of Benjamin, and, unlike his father Saul, he loved David (1 Sam. 9:1–2; 14:49; 18:1–5).
