'Twelve Tribes' in the Bible

And Jesus said to them, I tell you truly, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, shall yourselves also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel;

that you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

which our twelve tribes, serving God continually, day and night, hope to attain; of this hope, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.

JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion, greeting.

It had a great and high wall, it had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
