the Matrites, a family or clan group within Benjamin (used collectively with article)
This gentilicnoun appears in 1 Samuel 10:21, identifying the family from which Saul was chosen as Israel's first king. When Samuel conducts the lot ceremony, the tribe of Benjamin is selected, then the Matrite clan, then Saul son of Kish. The Greek transliteration Mattari suggests uncertainty about the exact pronunciation. The term functions as a collective—'the Matrites' as a group—highlighting the progressive narrowing of divine choice from tribe to clan to individual.

1. sense 1 — The Matrites, a clan or family group within the tribe of Benjamin, mentioned in 1 Samuel 10:21 during the selection of Saul as king. The gentilic form (with definite article) indicates a known family unit. Textual evidence shows some manuscripts had difficulty with this name (Greek variants Mattari), but the context is clear: this is the intermediate level of tribal organization between the larger tribe and the individual household. The narrative tension builds as the lots progressively narrow from Benjamin to this clan to Kish's family to Saul himself—nowhere to hide from God's choice. 1×
