Ten Tribes Vs. One Tribe
Exegetical Approaches
Binyamin
Achiyah had included the tribe of Binyamin with Yehuda.
Why isn't Binyamin mentioned? These sources explain that since Binyamin was both less important and less numerous than Yehuda, it is not mentioned on its own but only as part of the more glorified Yehuda.
Status of Yerushalayim
"וַיַּקְהֵל אֶת כׇּל בֵּית יְהוּדָה וְאֶת שֵׁבֶט בִּנְיָמִן"
וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֶת כׇּל יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן
"לְמַעַן עַבְדִּי דָוִד וּלְמַעַן יְרוּשָׁלִַם הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר בָּחַרְתִּי" – These sources could suggest that Hashem kept Yehuda "לְמַעַן עַבְדִּי דָוִד" and Binyamin "לְמַעַן יְרוּשָׁלִַם".
Shimon?
Why would Binyamin side withYehuda?
Shimon
Achiyah had not intended that Binyamin was to join Yehuda. The missing twelfth tribe was Shimon, which had been subsumed under its neighbor already in the period of the Conquest.
