From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'O'

Answer: 1

Only one book, Obadiah, starts with the letter 'O'. The book consists of only one chapter, making it the shortest book in the Old Testament. According to Wikipedia, Obadiah means "servant (or worshipper) of the Lord". In the Christian Bible, Obadiah is considered a minor prophet. The book is called 'minor' simply because its much shorter than those by the likes of Daniel and Jeremiah. The twelve books in the Minor Prophet section, however, are seen as every bit as important as the books written by other prophets in the Old Testament.

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'N'

Answer: Nehemiah

Not much is known about the personal life of Nehemiah, apart from the fact he had a brother called Hanani and their father was Hacaliah, as per Nehemiah 1:1-2. Facing gigantic odds, Nehemiah successfully rebuilt the wall around Jerusalem. In Biblical times, walls around cities were a common feature as they were used to keep occupants safe from intruders. Although Nehemiah rebuilt the wall around Jerusalem, it is not unanimous he wrote the Old Testament book that bears his name. Some believe Ezra wrote the book, relying on Nehemiah's memories. Those who believe Ezra wrote the book point out Nehemiah 7:5-73 and Ezra 2:1-70 are almost identical.

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'M'

Adam, who lived for 930 years, was the third oldest person in the Bible, as per Genesis 5:5. Methuselah's longevity has given birth to today's comical expression that someone or something is "as old as Methuselah".

From Quiz Biblical Alphabetics -- The Letter 'L'

Answer: Laban

Laban is the correct answer. There's no disputing the fact he was shrewd and devious. Laban got fourteen years of labor out of Jacob, largely by tricking him. Jacob agreed to work for seven years for Laban if he could marry his younger daughter Rachel. However, at the end of seven years, Laban gave Jacob his older daughter Leah in marriage, saying "it is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one." So, Jacob agreed to work an additional seven years for Rachel's hand. It's a case of what goes around, comes around. After all, Jacob was a master deceiver as he had duped his elderly father Isaac into giving him his blessing over his twin brother Esau, as per Genesis 27: 1-40. After this incident, Jacob ended up fleeing as Esau plotted to kill him.
