Becorath was an ancestor of King Saul and a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
Becorath was an ancestor of King Saul from the tribe of Benjamin, mentioned in the genealogy of 1 Samuel 9:1. He stood in the line running from Benjamin through Aphiah, Becorath, Zeror, Abiel, Kish, and finally to Saul. His inclusion in this royal pedigree serves to legitimize Saul's Benjamite credentials and to establish the tribal and familial context for the emergence of Israel's first anointed king.
