and I want to retrieve Firs

Answer 1

lists() method used to select column from selected result. So first contact first name and last name and give this column with new alias name in select statement

 $tenants = Tenant::orderBy('First_Name')->select(DB::row('CONCAT(`First_Name`," ",`Last_Name`) as name'),'Tenant_Id')->lists('name', 'id');

then you can select this alias in lists() method
