Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Whose wife was famously turned into a pillar of salt after she disobediently looked back while fleeing from the city of Sodom?

Answer: Lot

This Bible account is found in Genesis chapter 19. Sodom, Gomorrah, and the other "cities of the plain" may have been located in the area that is now covered by the Dead Sea, one of the world's saltiest bodies of water. It is also a source of natural asphalt.
2. This woman is known for attempting to seduce Joseph, the son of Jacob, then accusing him of attempted rape after he refused her advances. The Bible doesn't give her name; we only know that she was the wife of which man?

Answer: Potiphar

This Bible account is found in Genesis chapter 39. Archaeological findings indicate that Egyptian houses were set up so that one had to pass through the main living quarters in order to reach the storerooms. Thus, even after Potiphar's wife made her desire for Joseph known, he could not avoid encountering her while performing his regular duties.
3. This woman advised her long-suffering husband to "curse God and die." Later, she gave birth to ten children, including beautiful daughters named Jemimah, Keziah, and Keren-Happuch. Whose wife was she?

Answer: Job

This Bible account is found in Job chapters 2 and 42. The name "Keren-Happuch" means "Horn of the black eye paint." Kohl was widely used as a cosmetic in the ancient Middle East and North Africa.
4. This young woman showed true obedience and loyalty by keeping the difficult terms of her father's vow to God. We don't know her name, but who was her father?

Answer: Jephthah

This Bible account is found in Judges chapter 11. Jephthah promised that if he won his battle against the Ammonites, when he returned home he would offer the first one to come out of the house to welcome him as a sacrifice to God. Some people interpret this to mean that Jephthah's daughter was put to death as a human sacrifice.

However, since other parts of the Bible condemn human sacrifice as a pagan practice, many scholars conclude that Jephthah's daughter was not killed, but instead spent her life serving at the tabernacle.
5. A little Israelite girl, whose name is unknown, was taken captive by the Syrians during the tenth century B.C. While serving as a slave in the house of the Syrian army chief Naaman, she recommended that he visit God's prophet Elisha to be miraculously cured of what debilitating illness?

Answer: Leprosy

This Bible account is found in 2 Kings chapter 5. This little girl's faith was greater than that of King Jehoram of Israel. When Naaman arrived in Samaria, Jehoram became agitated, believing that the Syrian king was making an impossible request as a pretext for another dispute between the nations.
6. What happened to the unnamed prophet who foretold that King Josiah would destroy the altar used for false worship at Bethel?

Answer: He was killed by a lion

This Bible account is found in 1 Kings chapter 13. The man disobeyed God's instructions by accepting an invitation from another prophet to stop and have a meal in Bethel, instead of returning directly home. As a result, God allowed him to be killed, but not eaten, by a lion he encountered on the road. Despite this, his prophecy was fulfilled some 300 years later.
7. One man mentioned in the Bible would probably be glad that we don't know his name, since he refused to do his duty to his kinsman's family out of concern for his own inheritance. Instead, he passed the responsibility on to another relative, a man named Boaz. In which Bible book is this incident recorded?

Answer: Ruth

This Bible account is found in Ruth chapter 4. Boaz married the widowed Ruth, and their great-grandson David later became king of Israel. Ruth is one of only a few female ancestors mentioned by name in Jesus' genealogy recorded in Matthew chapter 1.
8. What was the title, sometimes mistaken for a proper name by readers, of the Assyrian emissary who used his knowledge of the Hebrew language to taunt King Hezekiah's army?

Answer: Rabshakeh

This Bible account is found in 2 Kings chapter 18. The Tartan, the Rabsaris, and the Rabshakeh were all high-ranking Assyrian officials. A tjaty or nomarch would have been from ancient Egypt.
9. In the early days of Christianity, Philip the Evangelizer ran alongside a man's chariot, heard him reading aloud from the book of Isaiah, and asked him if he understood what he was reading. The man was a government official, but from what country?

Answer: Ethiopia

This Bible account is found in Acts chapter 8. The Ethiopian, who was baptized immediately after Philip declared the good news about Jesus to him, is described as a "eunuch." However, since a physically castrated man would not have been accepted as a Jewish proselyte, the term "eunuch" is here used in its broader sense to mean a court official.

Interestingly, the queen of Ethiopia is referred to as "Candace," but this was a traditional title rather than a personal name.
10. When Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, his captors noticed a young man following them. They tried to seize him, but he slipped out of his clothing and got away naked, or scantily clad. Although the Bible does not name the man, traditionally he is identified as which disciple?

Answer: Mark

This Bible account is found in Mark chapter 14. Since Mark is the only gospel writer to record this event, it is logical to conclude that he was the young man in question. Mark and his mother, Mary, lived in Jerusalem and were apparently rather wealthy, since Acts chapter 12 indicates that they lived in a large house with servants.
