Question: To which tribe of Israel did Paul belong?
Answer: Benjamin (Philippians 3:5).
Comments: Paul was originally known as Saul, the name of the first king of Israel. Both Sauls were from the tribe of Israel.
The only other Biblical Saul is a king of Edom referenced in Genesis 36:37, 38. The King James Version and its successor (NKJV) render his name Saul while most other modern translations call him “Shaul” (CEV, ESV, NASB, NIV, NLT, NRSV, RSV).
