This verse specifically lists descendants in the tribe of Benjamin, including figures related to King Saul's lineage, as a way to preserve family records for matters of inheritance and identity. Such genealogies were essential in ancient Israelite society to maintain social order and reaffirm God's covenant promises to the tribes.
