Jacob married two wives one named Leah and the other Rachel. Jacob had 12 sons. one of his sons was named benjamin. Benjamin's mother was rachel. The 12 sons of Jacob are the 12 tribes of Israel. Benjamin was the brother to Joseph, they had the same mother and father. We also Know that the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh make up for the daughter Dina and the Levites who could not become tribes.
Benjamin was the son of Jacob and Rachel - Gen.35:18.
The 12 sons of Jacob became the 12 tribes of Israel.

Moses called the tribe of Benjamin "the beloved of the Lord" - Deut. 33:12.
According to biblical tradition, the tribes of Judah and Benjamin formed the southern Hebrew kingdom of Judah, while the other ten tribes lived in the northern kingdom, Israel.
In the other most notable story about what the Benjaminites did, in Judges chapter 19, a man visited the city of Gibeah, of the tribe of Benjamin, when all the men of the city knocked on the door and demanded the man be given to them so that they could rape him. The owner instead gave them his virgin daughter and a concubine to rape. However, this story is so improbable and has so many close parallels to the earlier story of Sodom and Gomorrah that it is certainly a copy of that story. The events of Judges 19 never really happened.
The tribe of Benjamin came from the last son of Jacob and Rachel. He was also the youngest son of the twelve.
