I read the Bible, the concordance notes for that chapter. This is Genesis 35 God sends Jacob to Bethel and tells him to build an alter there where God spoke to him. Deborah Died and was buried there under an Oak tree. Jacob was to be called Isreal now, not Jacob.
Isreal (Jacob) was told that nations would come from his children and Kings. Rachel gave birth and died during the delivery. She wanted to name the child Ben-oni, (child of pain) as he caused her such pain. But Isreal changed the name to Ben-jamin (child of joy).
