First time Jew was mentioned in Old Testament is in Esther. Said the Jew was a Benjaminite. The Tribe of Benjamin was cut off from the Tribe in Judges after waging war on the other Tribes.
Interestingly, in Esther (first time Jew mentioned), the word God or Lord is not used a single time. Mordecai (The Jew) was indeed a your typical backstabbing conniving Jew. Esther is a short chapter, recommend reading.
No it was the Benjaminites who started the beef, so the other Tribes had no choice but to massacre them. So the Benjaminites were cut off from the Israelites. The Israelites said it was Blasphemy to give their daughters to the Benjaminites, so they gave them some concubines and other women captured in their conquests (there are many of them).
Benjaminites refers to the Tribe, but not everyone named Benjamin is a Benjaminite. There is a clear distinction while you read through.
