Genesis 35:16-20

16And they journeyed from Beth–el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.1 17And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. 18And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben–oni: but his father called him Benjamin.23 19And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth–lehem. 20And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.
