Answer: Elkanah

Elkanah was the husband of Hannah and a second woman called Peninnah. While Penniah was the mother of an unstated number of children, Hannah was unable to conceive. Scripture tells of Hannah being depressed about her situation and Peninnah making things worse by ridiculing her.

After Hannah fervently prayed to God about her situation, things changed dramatically, with Scripture telling of her giving birth to Samuel who would grow up to become a noted judge of Israel.

1 Samuel 2:21 goes on to tell of Hannah conceiving three sons and two daughters, but apart from Samuel, no names are given for the children.

Answer: Nahor

Nahor was the son of Terah and the brother of Abram, who would later become known as Abraham, according to Genesis 11:26. The same verse states Terah had a third son, Haran.

Making things a tad confusing, there is a second man called Nahor and he was the father of Terah, as per Genesis 11:24. In other words, Terhah had a father and a son called Nahor.

Answer: Horeb

Exodus 3:1-27 tells of Moses encountering God in the form of a burning bush on Mount Horeb. At the time, Moses was tending to the sheep of his father-in-law Jethro, known as Reuel elsewhere in Exodus.

It was during this encounter Moses received word he had been selected to lead the Israelites out of captivity in Egypt and lead them to Canaan, known as the Promised Land.

Answer: rebuked

The missing word from Matthew 8:26 in the NKJV is 'rebuked'. The verse is part of a passage telling of Jesus sleeping in the stern of a boat being rowed by the Twelve Disciples on the Sea of Galilee when a ferocious storm struck. Jesus, however, quickly calmed down the situation when He rebuked the winds and instantly the water apparently became flat as a table top.

For details about the miracle, see Matthew 8:23-27.

Answer: Kedesh

The Israelites, led by Deborah and Barak, scored a spectacular military victory over Siserra and the Caananites at Kedesh. Deborah was the dynamic judge of Israel and Barak was the nation's military commander.

In some other books in the Old Testament of the KJV, NKJV and NIV, Kedesh is spelled as Kadesh. For example, it was at Kadesh the Israelites camped for some time while they were wandering in the desert, as per Deuteronomy 1:46. It was also at Kadesh where Miriam died and Moses struck a rock and brought forth water, but failed to follow precise instructions from God, as per Numbers 20:1-13.

Answer: Eshcol

It was at Eschol were the Israelite spies harvested a large amount of grapes, pomegranates and figs, as per Numbers 13:24. (Rather than Eshcol, the NIV uses the placename Eshkol. That spelling, however, doesn't work here.)

Specific details are not given about the amount of fruit harvested by the spies apart from the fact they cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes and they "carried it between two of them on a pole."

The men had been commissioned by Moses to spy out the land of Canaan before the Israelites moved in to occupy the land.

According to notes in the NKJV Study Bible, Eschol means 'cluster'.

Answer: collector

The missing word from Luke 5:27 in the NKJV is 'collector'. In other words, Jesus saw a tax collector named Levi and invited him to "Follow Me". (Levi was also known as Matthew and he is credited with writing the first Gospel of the New Testament that bears his name.)

Scripture states that after Jesus issued the invitation, Levi/Matthew, "left all, rose up, and followed Him."

Answer: torment

The missing word from 1 John 4:18 in the NKJV is 'torment'.

The NIV has slightly different wording for the verse and does not use the word torment: "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

1 John was written by John, one of the original Twelve Disciples. He is also credited with writing the Gospel of John, 2 John, 3 John and Revelation. However, some modern day scholars dispute the belief he wrote Revelation.

Answer: Enter

The missing word from Matthew 7:13 is 'Enter'. (The KJV and the NIV also use the word 'Enter'.)

The verse is part of a passage which is known as the Sermon on the Mount by Jesus. To put the verse in context, here's how Matthew 7:13-14 reads in the NKJV: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."

Matthew, who recorded the Sermon on the Mount, was one of the original Twelve Disciples. Matthew was a tax collector and it is believed he knew a form of shorthand and as a result he was able to capture so many details from Christ's sermon. The Sermon on the Mount is rported in Chapters 5, 6, and 7 of Matthew.

Answer: terror

The missing word from Genesis 35:5 in the NKJV is 'terror'. (The word 'terror' is also used in the KJV and the NIV.)

The verse is part of a passage telling of Jacob receiving divine instructions to move his family to Bethel. also known as Luz. Scripture tells of Jacob and his family arriving safely in Bethel because the "terror of God was upon" the people in the district. After arriving in Bethel, Scripture states Jacob built an altar to God.
