Definition: The term "Algomian" is a Hebrew term used in biblical and Jewish literature to refer to a people who lived during the time of King David (c. 1056-922 BCE) and were considered part of Israel's original nation. They are believed by some scholars to be the descendants of the ancient tribe of Benjamin (of whom, according to rabbinic tradition, Solomon is one). These Algomians are the subjects of the Law given in Deuteronomy 6:5-9, which speaks about the rights and responsibilities of these individuals under God. The specific population of Israelites who were subject to this law during the time of King David was the descendants of Benjamin (who would later become the nation of Israel). This group of people is often referred to as "Algomian" because it is believed they were the first generation of people in Israel, and hence, their genealogy begins with the tribe of Benjamin. In Deuteronomy 6:5-9, God commands his people to treat every single person under him equally, including those who are not part of the original nation. This decree is meant to establish a moral standard among all members of the family and society at large, as it would help prevent abuse or exploitation from one generation to another. The concept of the "Algomian" group became particularly important in the Old Testament because it provided the framework for understanding how a people should be treated according to God's laws. This group lived under King David and was responsible for enforcing his decrees throughout Israel, as they were part of the nation's lineage from Benjamin. The Algomians are considered an essential part of Jewish history, particularly in understanding the nature of individual rights and obligations under the law of the kingdom, which was a significant aspect of their societal structure.
