Answer: David

According to Psalms 101:3 King David spoke these words: "I will set no evil thing before mine eyes, I hate the works of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me." Evidently, David was a transformed man after the episode in his life when he set his eyes on Bathsheba, Uriah's wife, and decided to have her for himself. He instigated Uriah's death and Nathan, the prophet was sent to him to make him aware of God's displeasure (II Samuel 11 & 12). His prayer for the remission of his sins can be found in Psalms 51. In Psalms 101 David makes his vow and profession of godliness.

From Quiz A Look at Hair-Raising People in the Bible -- #2

Answer: Jacob

The correct answer is Jacob. It's a bit of a long story, but according to Scripture, Jacob made himself hairy so he could trick his father Isaac into giving him the blessing that had been intended for Esau. Genesis 27 tells of Rebekah, the wife of Isaac, being behind the ruse. According to Scripture, she highly favored Jacob while Isaac favored Esau. Scripture states Rebekah prepared savory food for Jacob to give to Isaac and also took "the choice clothes of her elder son Esau" and put them of Jacob. Then to top things off, Rebekah "put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck." Genesis 27:23 states Isaac did not recognize Jacob "because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him."

Answer: Esau

Esau, according to Scripture, was hairy while his twin brother was "smooth skinned." Genesis 25:24-26, in the NKJV, tells of Rebekah giving birth to the two boys: "So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau. Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob." In Genesis 27:11, Jacob describes his brother as "a hairy man" and himself as "a smooth-skinned man."

Answer: Appetite

Proverbs 23:2 King James Version: "And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite." This verse is not just about restraining ourselves while at another's dinner table. It could be his work, his family, or his lifestyle. It's about learning to restrain ourselves in all situations, to be moderate in all things lest we fall into the hands of the enemy. And we often are our own worst enemy.

Answer: Joseph

Joseph's bones were carried out of Egypt and buried at Shechem, according to Joshua 24:32. The verse states the burial took place at a plot of ground which Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred pieces of silver. Joseph's bones would have been extremely old at this point in time. According to Exodus 12:40, the Israelites had lived in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years before they left for Canaan, known as the Promised Land.

Answer: single

The Sermon on the Mount is recorded from Matthew 5-7. According to chapter 6:22-23, Jesus explained to the multitude that it is from the eye that the body gets its light, so if the eye is single the whole body will be full of light. On the other hand, he pointed out that if the whole eye is evil (defective) the whole body would be full of darkness. He further declared that, if the light that they had was actually darkness, then that darkness would be very great.

From Quiz A Look at Hair-Raising People in the Bible

Answer: Samson

The story of Samson being betrayed by Delilah is one of the best known stories in the Hebrew Bible, or the Old Testament of the English Bible. According to Scripture, his long hair was the secret to his strength and when his locks were cut by Delilah, he lost his power. Samson was born to the wife of Manoah after she was unable to conceive, according to Judges 13. No name is given for the woman. Judges 13:3-5 tells of an Angel of the LORD informing the woman she would give birth to a baby boy and that his hair should never be cut: "And the Angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, 'Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. Now therefore, please be careful not to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything unclean. For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.'" Greed was the simple reason Delilah betrayed Samson. Judges 16:5, in the NKJV, states: "And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, 'Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.'" Make no mistake about it. Delilah was bribed with a massive amount of money to betray Samson. It's as if no price was too high for the lords of the Philistines to bring him down. It's worth noting the offer of eleven hundred shekels of silver each was multiplied by five. In other words, she was offered 5,500 pieces of silver from the five rulers. Samson, however, would have his final hurrah after his hair was cut. With his hair partially grown back, the 16th chapter of Judges states he used his remaining strength to get revenge against the Philistines who had taken him captive. While the Philistine rulers were offering "a great sacrifice" to Dagon their god, it was decided to bring out Samson for "entertainment" purposes. A crucial mistake was made when Samson was placed by the pillars that supported the temple. Judges 16:30 states: "Samson said, 'Let me die with the Philistines!' Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived." According to Wikipedia, Delilah means "One who weakened or uprooted or impoverished."

Answer: Saul and his sons

The bones of Saul and his three sons were buried beneath a tamarisk tree at Jabesh, per 1 Samuel 31:11-13. The sons were Jonathan, Abinadab and Malchishua. Scripture states Saul's son were killed in battle against the Philistines and he was mortally wounded. 1 Samuel 31:4-6 tells of Saul requesting his unnamed armor bearer to kill him with his sword, but the armor bearer refused to take such action. As a result, Saul took a sword and fell on it, ending his life. When the armor bearer saw what Saul had done, he too ended his life. After the burial of Saul and his three sons, Scripture states the people fasted for seven days.

Answer: Elisha

The king of Syria warred against the king of Israel, but each time the Syrian king plotted against him, Elisha would warn the king of Israel, who would avoid the traps. The king of Syria found out that Elisha was the one warning the king of Israel, so he sent horses and chariots to capture Elisha. Elisha's servant went out and saw the host that compassed the city and went to Elisha to report what he had seen. He was afraid and wanted to know what they would do. Elisha told him not to fear as they that were with them were more than those who were with their enemies. It was at this point that Elisha asked the Lord to allow his servant to see. (II Kings 6:8-23)

From Quiz Biblical ENT

Answer: One Hundred Pence

Matthew 18:28 KJV: "But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, pay me that thou owest." Forgiveness is not always an easy thing to do. There can be some extraordinary circumstances for which one might need to be forgiven. The murder of a loved one, sexual assault, or verbal attack. There can also be trite reasons for which we may need to forgive. When someone says "I'm sorry" to you, do you always say, "I forgive you"? The Bible says we are to forgive our brother, "seventy times seven times". Chances are we'll never have to apologize or forgive that often, but what about one time. Someone commits a most heinous act to you or your loved one. Would you be able to forgive them? If he/she does the same thing over and over and over, would you be able to continue to say, I forgive you? This servant (Matthew 18:24 KJV) owed the king ten thousand talents. However, he couldn't pay it. He pleaded with the king; the king had mercy on him and forgave him the debt. The man then went out and found someone who owed him one hundred pence, grabbed him by the throat, and demanded his money. The servant was in the same position as he just was before the king. The man pleaded to allow him time to make the bill right. His pleas fell on deaf ears. The servant had the man thrown in jail. Had he forgotten that he was just forgiven for the same thing? Forgiving someone isn't always an easy thing to do. Author's note: Helpful Scripture; Luke 6:37-38 (KJV); Matthew 7:1-12 (KJV)

Answer: Nehemiah

Nehemiah is the correct answer. In Nehemiah 13:25-27, in the NKJV, the leader of the Israelites gives an explanation for his conduct: "So I contended with them and cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, 'You shall not give your daughters as wives to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons or yourselves. Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, who was beloved of his God; and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless pagan women caused even him to sin. Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?'" 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.

From Quiz Biblical ENT

Answer: Flat

Leviticus 21:18 KJV: "For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous," The Lord set a very high bar for priests of the Old Testament. Oftentimes people can't relate to that which seems far removed from them. Even a priest is just a man. The blemish on his face should never detract from the love and devotion of his heart. Sometimes vanity enters the heart of those who feel themselves so set apart from others for any reason. Author's note: The priests were of Aaron's (Moses' brother) family as ordained by God on Mt. Sinai. They were all Levites (after Jacob's son Levi). All priests were Levites, but not all Levites were priests. The high priests were from the family of Aaron directly. Levi's three sons, Gershon, Kohath and Merari organized the services of the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle was in the center of camp; surrounding it were the Levites who camped on the north (Merarites) on the south (Kohathites) on the west (Gershonites) and priests (Aaron, his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, and Moses his brother) on the east. Surrounding them were the twelve tribes of Israel (Naphtali, Judah, Issachar, Zebulon, Reuben, Simeon, Gad, Ephraim, Manasseh, Benjamin, Dan, and Asker). The Levites were chosen as priests because they didn't take part in the worship of the golden calf. Not only did they not worship the idol, they slew about 3000 of those who did.

Ashdod is a city in what is now Israel. It is the sixth-largest. It was part of the Philistine pentapolis (five cities) in Bible times. The name of the city means diffusion, inclination, and theft.

Answer: Josiah

Josiah, king of Judah, is the correct answer, as per 2 Kings 23:16. Scripture states Josaih was infuriated by pagan altars in Israel and during his reign he took swift and decisive action to eradicate the altars. Much of the 23rd chapter of 2 Kings is devoted to his actions to remove the pagan altars and to make the nation aligned with the LORD. Verse 15, for example, tells of Josiah breaking down high places, burning them and "crushing them to powder." To add insult to injury, Verse 16 goes on to tell of Josiah taking bones and burning them on altar and defiling it, "according to the word of the LORD."

Answer: Ezekiel

The correct answer is Ezekiel. In addition to scattering one-third of his hair into the wind, Scripture states Ezekiel was also told to burn one-third of the hair he removed from his hair and face and to strike a sword around the remaining one-third. Here's how Ezekiel 5:1-4 reads in the NKJV: "And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, take it as a barber's razor, and pass it over your head and your beard; then take scales to weigh and divide the hair. You shall burn with fire one-third in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are finished; then you shall take one-third and strike around it with the sword, and one-third you shall scatter in the wind: I will draw out a sword after them. You shall also take a small number of them and bind them in the edge of your garment. Then take some of them again and throw them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will go out into all the house of Israel." Notes in the NKJV Study Bible have this to say about the highly unusual passage: "Shaving the head was an act showing shame or disgrace in Hebrew culture. ....This message was telling the people that they were about to be humiliated and defiled." The notes go on to state: "Each citizen of Jerusalem would suffer one of the three fates depicted by each of the three mounds of the equally measured shorn hair: 1) Some would be burned along with the city or would die from plague, famine or other siege conditions; 2) some would be murdered by the sword during the attack; 3) and some would be scattered in the wind -- referring to the Exile."

Jesus told the man not to tell anyone, but to go tell the priest he was now clean. It was the law that a person with leprosy who was no longer a leper had to have a priest examine them to make sure they were clean. However, since leprosy was not curable back then, it was rare that a person ever went back to the priest. The last time may have been in Numbers 12 when Miriam briefly had leprosy.

According to Scripture, a dead man was put in the tomb of Elisha and as soon as the body touched the hallowed bones of the prophet of God, the man was revived and stood on his feet again. The dead man who came back to life when his body touched the bones of Elisha is not identified. Unfortunately, Scripture is short on details all around when it comes to this amazing story that is told in two verses. 2 Kings 13:20-21, in the NKJV Bible, simply states: "Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring. Once, while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man's body into Elisha's tomb. When the body touched Elisha's bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet." No further details are given.

The correct answer is the Song of Solomon with the description found in the first verse of the fourth chapter. (In the NIV, the book is called Song of Songs.) According to the NKJV, the fourth chapter of the Song of Solomon is sub-titled 'The Bridegroom Praises the Bride.' To put the verse in contest, here's how the Song of Solomon 4:1-5 reads in the NKJV: "Behold, you are fair, my love! Behold, you are fair! You have dove's eyes behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats, Going down from Mount Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep Which have come up from the washing, Every one of which bears twins, And none is barren among them. Your lips are like a strand of scarlet, And your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil Are like a piece of pomegranate.
