Bible Quiz Questions

Start asking! I'll start out with one:

Who in the Bible saw a flying roll?

Wasn't that Isaiah ?

Zechariah

Zachary … Yes. Where is it found?

Zecharias sees a flying scroll in Zechariah chapter 5. I have no idea where he eats it at though :(. By the way Great Job Zachary !

Does anyone know what the name of Abraham's second wife was ? and what some of his other sons were besides Ishmael and Isaac ?

Abraham's second wife was Keturah, I think. I don't know what his other son's names were, though.

Good Job Matthew ! his other sons names were zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. ( Genesis 25:2)

What was the name of the man who had his head cut off and thrown over a wall to Joab?

Oooh! I'll probably have to think a while!

Did God have a law against tattooing?

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own……."

1 Corinthians 6:19

Is that sufficient enough or do I need to find more verses?

It was in the old testament, the Israeli solders where going to destroy a city because a man that had done something wicked towards israel was hiding there, so instead the people cut off his head and threw him over the wall, but I can't remember his name.

JC–Yes, our bodies (as Christians) are the temple of the Holy Spirit, but tattoos are not necessarily defiling that temple. But this isn't the best place to talk about this… let's move it over to "Is it Right for a Christian To Drink…" in the "Theology Discussions" forum.

But anyway, on Bible trivia questions…

1) What wicked king killed himself by burning down his own palace?

2) Where was Jesus when He escaped from a crowd that was going to push Him off a cliff?

3) Who is the most mentioned woman in the Bible, with 56 direct mentions of her name?

4) What prophet's bones were given sufficient power by God to raise another man from the dead?

To question #1: that was Omri or Zimri.

Yes - there was a law against tattooing! Leviticus 19:28 "You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord."

@SBG 1. Omri 2. Capernaum ? 3. Mary ? 4. Elisha

Sorry for not getting back to you guys I've been kind of busy lately @JPIA I don't know I remember the story but can't remember the name.

1) Zimri

2) Nazareth

3) Sarah

4) Elisha

ZB, I'll answer your comment on the forum I mentioned above. :)

Who in the bible married a foreign woman and grandson was David?

Boaz married a foreign woman, but wasn't David his great-grandson…..? Obed, Jesse, and then David?

Right! Who gave false counsel to an Israeli usurper in order to help David?

The answer to my question:

Sheba

2 Samuel 20:14-22 KJV

And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him. And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down. Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee. And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear. Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter. I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the Lord? And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy. The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall. Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.

Right! Who gave false counsel to an Israeli usurper in order to help David?

There was a sermon on that at the Regional ATI Conference at Big Sandy. It was about the story of Ahithophel. I remember the story, but I don't remember the name. Another question from the same story - Why was Ahithophel so bitter at David that he wanted to kill David only, himself?

I think I found out where they came up with the Jedi mind trick idea. They stole it from the Bible.

I could be wrong, but it sure sounds like Jesus did it first.

John 18: 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

Pay special attention to verse 8

What do you think?

I don't think so… I doubt that they would pay that close attention to the Bible. :D And also, it doesn't seem to be exactly the same thing. Jesus is giving them a good reason for letting the disciples go–they were only supposed to capture Him, not them. In Star Wars, the things that the Jedi persuade people to do are absolutely ridiculous. :D

Wow. Silence for 8 months?! :o

:D

Yikes!!!!!!! :)
~~~
Ummm, why did the Israelites have to wander in the wilderness for 40 years? Why not a different number of years?

The 40 years, was one year for each day that the spies were spying out the land.

Wow I would feel really bad if I was one of those spies like "why did we have to take so long?"

Yea

Yeah, me too. :) But they didn't really have a long time to regret it…

~~~~~

What tribes were the faithful spies from?

There MUST be someone else on here who pays attention to that kind of thing !? :)

Well, I'm just guessing, I know the faithful spies were Caleb the son of Jephunnah and Joshua the son of Nun, I'm guessing the faithful tribes were from Ephraim and Judah. Joshua was from Judah and Caleb was from Ephraim.

SO close! Joshua was from Ephraim and Caleb from Judah.
{Numbers 13:6;8}

What were the 10 plagues of Egypt? (In order!)

Oh, I'm not going to do very well at this. :P Well, first was the water turning into blood, then the plague of frogs, then the flies, the locusts, the hail, the lice, the dead animals, something I don't remember, the darkness, and the killing of the firstborn. I didn't even get all of them, and I surely didn't get them in order. :P

Is the one you're missing boils??? I was just reading about this too. :P I guess I should have payed more attention. :)

I've got one:

What's the longest word/name in the Bible, where is it found, and who is it?

Maher-something-something-something - a name in Isaiah that means to "hasten the spoil."

Right?

It's actually "Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz," and it means "quick to the plunder, swift to the spoil." (I did not look any of that up! :D)

Here's one:

What is the longest book in the Bible–not with regards to chapters, but with regards to words? :)

I'm guessing Isaiah?

Psalms? I'm not really sure though…

What's the longest verse in the Bible and what's the shortest verse in the Bible?

The shortest verse in the Bible I can never remember the reference to. It's "Jesus wept" though.

And the longest verse in the Bible is in Esther (chap 8?) I think. SBG posted it on the Badge blog… :)

The longest verse is Esther 8:9 and the shortest verse is "Jesus Wept" John11:35 I had to look to remember which Chapter the Esther verse came from(:

I'm going to say Psalms… I was tempted to google that, you know… but I didn't!

I wonder who took that lovely picture of you, Elanee!

Here's a question, (it's kinda an easy one!)

Who said, "I know that my Redeemer liveth…" and where can we find it??

Job! I forgot the reference. (I'm not the greatest with references:)

Job in Job 19:25. That was a memory verse in 2010
