From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Reuben
behold a son!, the eldest son of Jacob and Leah (Gen. 29:32).
His sinful conduct, referred to in Gen. 35:22, brought down upon
him his dying father's malediction (48:4). He showed kindness to
Joseph, and was the means of saving his life when his other
brothers would have put him to death (37:21,22). It was he also
who pledged his life and the life of his sons when Jacob was
unwilling to let Benjamin go down into Egypt. After Jacob and
his family went down into Egypt (46:8) no further mention is
made of Reuben beyond what is recorded in ch 49:3,4.
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
Reuben, who sees the son; the vision of the son
