Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Abraham

(Genesis 14) Some believe that Amraphel was another name for Hammurabi, of the famous Code. Also, wouldn't "Tidal King of Nations" be a sweet military title?

2. When the judge Ehud went to stop the oppression of the wicked King Eglon, what physical characteristic aided him in his assassination plot?

Answer: He was left-handed.

(Judges 3) When Ehud entered the king's antechamber, he was checked for weapons, per standard procedure. Ehud, being left-handed, girded his dagger on his right thigh. Since most (right-handed) people carry swords on their left side, Ehud's weapon went unnoticed.

Answer: She hammered a nail through his head while he slept.

(Judges 4) The Bible records that she was able to do this because Sisera "was fast asleep and weary. So he died."

Answer: David

(I Samuel 17) Most people have only heard the part where David slings a stone into Goliath's head. For some reason decapitations tend to be left out of Sunday School lessons...

Answer: They risked their lives for a drink of water.

(2 Samuel 23) David made an offhand remark, wishing that he might have a drink of water from his family's old well. These three broke through the enemy lines, drew water out of the well, and escaped back to David with the water. David poured the water out as an offering to God because he felt unworthy of his men's sacrifice.

Answer: He went up in a whirlwind.

(2 Kings 2) Verses 1 and 11 clearly state that it was the whirlwind, not the chariot, that brought Elijah up to heaven. It is unknown how Enoch (the only other Bible man who didn't die) was taken up to heaven.

Answer: Eunuchs

(2 Kings 9:30-33) Hearing Jehu's yells, two or three eunuchs popped up. Jehu yelled, "Throw her down!" So they threw her out the window.

Answer: Horses and chariots of fire

(2 Kings 6) It probably was a host of angels, but this is not explicitly stated. Elisha next prayed that God would strike the Assyrians blind. Elisha then went up to the blinded army and says, "Follow me." He led them right up to the king in Samaria, the capital of Israel.

9. On his way to imprisonment in Rome, the Apostle Paul's ship ran aground on the island of Malta. What happened that made the natives think Paul was a god?

Answer: Paul was bitten by a poisonous snake and survived.

(Acts 28) The snake is identified as a viper, a very deadly snake indeed. In the original Greek it actually says the snake "fastened on" Paul's hand, and some scholars take this to mean the snake merely wrapped itself around Paul's hand without actually biting him.

10. During John's revelation (in the book of Revelation) he sees an angel fall from heaven. This angel is given the key to the bottomless pit. What comes out of the pit when the angel unlocks it?

Answer: Smoke and Locusts

(Revelation 9) The angel is usually taken to be Satan, who fell from Heaven. The "locusts" are probably demons, and they afflict the earth for five months without being allowed to kill anyone. They are led by their king, the angel of the bottomless pit: Apollyon.
