Jezebel was King Ahab's wife. She hated the Israelites and was always trying to harm them. One day, she was putting her make-up on when she was thrown off a balcony causing her to die. Then the dogs ate her flesh. This story can be found in 2 Kings 9:30-37.

Answer: They wouldn't bow down to an idol.

The story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego can be found in Daniel 3. Nebuchadnezzar created a huge idol and told everyone in Babylon they must bow down to it. But those three refused to bow to an idol because they worshipped God. As a result, they were thrown into a fiery furnace, only they didn't burn.

Answer: 8

On the Ark were Noah and his wife, Ham and his wife, Shem and his wife and Japheth and his wife. That is 8 people. There were also a lot of animals on the ark. You can read about Noah's ark in Genesis 6-8.

Answer: myrrh

You can read about this in Matthew 2:1-12. Some Bible scholars (people who really study the Bible and know a lot about it) have said the gifts represent different things. The gold represents Jesus' sovereign domain. The frankincense represents His sinless Deity. The myrrh represents His sacrificial death.

Answer: Lazarus

Lazarus was very sick so his sisters sent word to Jesus that He must come and heal Lazarus. Jesus did not return to Bethany where Lazarus was for four days. By that time Lazarus had been dead for four days. The Bible said when they told him Lazarus was dead, He wept.

He then raised Lazarus from the dead. The reason he didn't heal Lazarus when he was sick was He wanted to show that along with all the other miracles He performed, He could bring people back from the dead. You can read about Lazarus in John 11.

Answer: Cut off his ear

Peter cut off Malchus' ear with a sword because he was angry that they had arrested Jesus. Jesus healed the man's ear and told Peter, 'Jesus commanded Peter, "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?"' (John 18:11 New International Version). Jesus was basically telling Peter that it was part of the plan (for salvation) that He was arrested. Peter believed Jesus was the Son of God, but he didn't fully understand why He had to die.

Answer: 3

Paul tells the people of Corinth this in his letters to them (2 Corinthians). Paul also tells them that he's been stoned (where people throw stones at you usually until you die), and that he was beaten with rods three times as well. Paul wasn't always a Christian, in fact his name wasn't always Paul.

He used to be known as Saul. You can read about Saul's conversion to Paul on the Road to Damascus in the book of Acts.

Answer: Patmos

John wrote in Revelation 1:9 "I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus." (New International Version) John was exiled (kicked out of his homeland) because he believed in Jesus.

He was sent to Patmos, Greece where he spent the rest of his life. During that time he wrote the book of Revelation.
