El Shaddai's Blessing to Jacob and the Kings From His Loins

Midrash Aggadah, Genesis 35:11

"I am El Shaddai, be fruitful and multiply, etc." And where do we find a being-fruitful-and-multiplying that Jacob our father did after this? Rather, because Benjamin was in his mother's womb, He said to him, "Be fruitful and multiply." "A nation" — this is Benjamin; "and a company of nations" — this is Manasseh and Ephraim. "And kings shall come out of your loins." This is Jeroboam and Jehu.
