[Avodah] 10 tribes

[Eli Turkel via Avodah]

we traditionally mention the 10 northern tribes versus the 2 southern
tribes (based on pesukim to Yaravam).

However, there were 3 tribes in the south Yehuda, Shimon (absorbed in
Yehudah) and Binyamin.
So who are the remaining 10 tribes (ie I count only 9).
This is all based on including Ephraim and Menashe and excluding Levi.
If we list Levi and combine the other 2 into Yosef then there were 4 tribes
in the south (assuming most Levites and cohanim were wth the Bet HaMikdash
in Jerusalem)
