Both occurrences are masculine singular gentilics. In 2 Samuel 20:1, the form identifies Sheba son of Bichri within the clause introducing him before his trumpet call; the APB renders the description “a Benjaminite man.” In Numbers 26:12, the form occurs in a list of Simeon’s clans, where the APB renders “the clan of the Jaminites.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the form as “a Benjaminite man” in 2 Samuel 20:1 and as “the clan of the Jaminites” in Numbers 26:12. These renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than a precise token-by-token equivalence.
