Overview
Pedahzur son of Ammihud was appointed as the leader (prince) of the tribe of Benjamin during the exodus from Egypt. He is mentioned in connection with the census of Israel and the offerings presented at the dedication of the altar of the tabernacle. His role exemplified the leadership structure God established for organizing His people.
Key Scriptures

"Then the one whose offering was presented on the ninth day was Pedahzur son of Ammihud, the leader of the sons of Benjamin" (Numbers 7:54, NASB). "His offering was one silver platter whose weight was one hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary" (Numbers 7:59, NASB).
Application
Pedahzur's faithful leadership in organizing his tribe and bringing his offering reminds us that God values those who serve faithfully in their appointed roles, whether prominent or humble.
