Building Benjamin's Journey: Tribes of Israel In the midst of war and devastation, one woman's journey will change the course of history. Naomi, a skilled dancer, dreams of capturing the eye of a wealthy landowner, but her fate takes an unexpected turn when she is captured by Eliab, a troubled shepherd from the tribe of Benjamin. As she awaits rescue, she discovers that Eliab's faith in God and his reason for abducting her may be the key to the survival of the tribe of Benjamin and the unification of the twelve tribes of Israel. The Plot In the ancient land of Israel, the tribe of Benjamin is struggling to survive after the loss of their sons in a raid by the Ephraimites. Desperate for a substantial bride price, Naomi's father sees her as the answer to their financial woes. But Naomi has other plans. She desires to dance well enough to catch the eye of a wealthy landowner and secure a better future for herself and her family. However, her dreams are shattered when she is captured by Eliab during a raid on the Ephraimite feast. As Naomi awaits rescue, she learns that Eliab's actions are not driven by greed or malice, but by a deep-seated belief in God and a just reason for taking her as his wife.
