Exegesis
The phrase benei yemin {בְּנֵי יְמִינִי | bə-nê ye-mi-nî}, “sons of Benjamin,” serves as an ethnic designation and underscores tribal loyalty.
In context — 1 Samuel 22:7
And Saul said to his servants who were standing before him, “Hear now, sons of Benjamin! Will Jesse’s son give all of you fields and vineyards, and will he set you as commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?”
