Two things. First, the linguistic similarity of the Mari "Benjaminites" to those in Israel. Second, the insistance of some scholars that anything in the ANE must be somehow related to the Bible, and that the "Patriarchal traditions" in the Bible MUST reflect a "pre-Israelite" reality.

yigal....In the past, there were scholars who suggested
that these "Benjaminites" were the ancestors of the biblical tribe - the
chronological and geographical distance is much to large for this to be
taken seriously.

J Anna .... thanks, yigal, for following-up. Do we have
any idea re the thinking of these scholars {apparently mistaken scholars } re
pre-jacob ''benjaminites.'' i.e., what sort of details did they use to
support their thesis. Even though their stance may be inaccurate, i'd like to
research the matter a wee bit more. Thanks
