Answer: high priest

It says in II Kings 22:4, "Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people."

Answer: king

It says in Acts 25:24, "And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer." King Agrippa was king of Judah in the 1st century AD.

Answer: gardener

It says in John 20:15, "Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away." Mary is still mourning the loss of her Savior but when she finds out he's not in the tomb because He has risen she is very happy.

Matthew was also known as Levi. You can read about Matthew being a tax collector in Matthew 10:3.

Answer: shepherd

You can read about David in the book of I Samuel. Before David became King he also was the one who defeated Goliath.

"1 Samuel 17:
34 But David said to Saul, "Your servant used to keep his father's sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, 35 I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God." 37 Moreover David said, "The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine."

As David was willing to defend the flock of sheep from the lion and the bear, thus God determined that he would be willing to defend the flock of Israel from any foe, whether he be Goliath or otherwise. (Thank you to editor LeoDaVinci for this extra info)
