Why the first king was from Binyamin


The purpose of having a Jewish king is not like the other nations. 
The other nations will select the person that has the best mazal and make him king.
Since Ein mazal leYisrael, we are supposed to trust in Hashem directly and not relly on mazal.
Since Shevet Binyamin was the only tribe to be born in Israel, he represents this idea more than the other shevatim.
That is why the first king was chosen from him. 
That is why it says "when you want king like all the other nations... you should take a king from amongst your brothers etc."
-Tiferet Yehonatan
