Explanation preview
This verse opens the genealogy of Benjamin, the tribe named after Jacob's youngest son, and it lists Bela as firstborn with Ashbel and Aharah following. The Chronicler is writing after the exile to show returning families their place among the tribes, so the order of sons matters for land and clan identity.
