Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. We'll start our quiz about Bible people with similar sounding names by taking a look at Hadar and Hagar. According to Genesis 25:15 in the NKJV, Hadar was a son of Ishamael. Who was Hagar, as per Genesis 16:1?
2. Two Old Testament kings with similar names are Hadad and Hadadezer. (Making things a tad complicated, is the fact more than one king was called Hadad and in addition to Hadadezer another king was called Ben-Hadad.) However, no king with the names Hadad, Hadadezer or Ben-Hadad ruled as a JEWISH king over Israel or Judea.
3. After the death of Sarah, Abraham took a new wife, Keturah, and she gave birth to six sons and two of them had names that are quite similar. What are their names, as per Genesis 25:2?
