Geneologies for the tribes that no one really seems to care about as much. Naphtali, Asher, Benjamin. Saul came from Benjamin, so there’s some extra care given to his line.
This section also covers the half tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, which I think are kind of under-valued. For one thing, Manasseh seems to be involved somehow in every third major even that happens in Israel. Come to think of it, Ephraim seems to have more than their fair share of important people and events too. If you look at all the Josephites together, they’re pretty major players in the shaping of Israel.
