# Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven: 'We will follow you, Benjamin!'
|

|
Here "Benjamin" represents the soldiers from the tribe of Benjamin. This may be a request for them to lead the people into battle. But modern versions make various attempts to interpret this expression. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
