Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who was the woman that was brought to King David when he was old?

Answer: Abishag

I Kings 1:3 "So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king." Abishag was known for her beauty.
2. How long was David a king in Israel?

Answer: 40 years

I King 2:11 "And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem." The Hebrew word for Hebron is "hevron". The Hebrew name for Jerusalem is "yerushalayim". The Hebrew word for Israel is "yisrael".
3. What did Solomon pray for in I Kings 3:9?

Answer: an understanding heart

I Kings 3:9 "Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?" Solomon's name means "peaceful".
4. How did Solomon decide who was the real mother of the baby that two women were fighting over?

Answer: The real mother was willing to give up her baby to keep it from being killed.

I Kings 3:26-27 "Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.

Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof." Solomon became ruler approximately 967 BC.
5. How many years did it take Solomon to build his house?

Answer: 13 years

I Kings 7:1 "But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house." Solomon's older brother Adonijah wanted to be king, but David anointed Solomon on a promise to his wife Bathsheba.
6. Who was king over Judah after Abijam died?

Answer: Asa

I Kings 15:8 "And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead." King Asa reigned from 910 - 869 BC.
7. How many stones did Elijah take to build an altar?

Answer: 12

I Kings 18:31 "And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be thy name." Elijah is a Biblical hero. At Passover a chair is left empty for him in hopes one day he will return. The same is true at a bris.
8. How did Naboth die?

Answer: He was stoned.

I Kings 21:13 "And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died." Naboth was a Jezreelite.
9. How old was Jehoshaphat when he became king?

Answer: 35

I Kings 22:42 "Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi." Jehoshaphat means "Jehovah-judged".
10. What is the last word of I Kings?

Answer: done

I Kings 22:53 "For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the Lord God of Israel, according to all that his father had done." The "he" that is referred to here is Ahaziah. He was considered to be a bad king and man because he did not worship God, but rather worshipped Baal. Baal refers to Pagan gods.
