Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Joshua 7 tells a story of a man named Achan and a town called Ai. Achan stole some articles and hid them under the dirt in his tent. He had stolen a garment, a wedge of gold and 200 other items. What comprised the other two hundred items that he had taken?

Answer: shekels of silver

According to the 7th chapter of the book of Joshua, Achan had stolen a prized Babylonian garment, 200 pieces of silver and a wedge of gold. This he accomplished after God had explicitly forbidden any of the Israelites from taking any spoils from the peoples they were conquering. This action cost a terrible price; not only was Achan stoned to death by his fellow countrymen for committing this sin, his children, his animals, and indeed everything that he owned was stoned to death and then burned.
(God's warning to the Israelites may be found in the preceding chapter.)
2. King Solomon was once visited by the queen of Sheba. After she departed to return to her own country, Solomon had workmen construct 200 items of gold. What were these golden items that he had beaten into form, according to the 10th chapter of 1 Kings?

Answer: targets

Not only did Solomon have 200 targets made of gold, read on in verses 14-22 to see what else he had constructed with portions of his great wealth.
(King James Version)

"Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold, Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country. And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target. And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays. And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom. And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon. For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks."
3. In Ezra 2:65 there were 200 men and women present that collectively did something. What activity did they engage in?

Answer: sang

As the Jewish people were returning from exile after their captivity in Babylon, there was an accounting of the people, sort of like a general census. It was during this re-establishment of lineage and occupation of the land that an assembly was called together in which there appeared a large number of people and 200 singers were present as well.

In the latter part of chapter 2 of Ezra we read:
"The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore, Beside their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and there were among them TWO HUNDRED singing men and singing women. Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five; Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; their asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty."
4. Who was the son of a famous Old Testament king who was described as a man of beauty and having a head of hair that weighed 200 shekels?

Answer: Absalom

In 2 Samuel 14:26-27 "But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at TWO HUNDRED shekels after the king's weight."

It is not exactly clear what was meant by the term "the king's weight" but most modern estimates would put the weight of Absalom's hair at around five or six lbs.
5. By using appeasement as an approach, what did Jacob offer his brother Esau as a peace offering, some time after he had deceived their father, Isaac, and had obtained a blessing originally intended for Esau? (Genesis 32)

Answer: 200 female sheep and 200 female goats

According to the King James version of the 32nd chapter of Genesis, Jacob not only brought 200 female sheep and 200 female goats as an offering to his brother, he brought quite a few other things as well.

"Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals."

Milch would translate in modern English as "milk" and kine would translate as "cattle".
6. The mother of a man named Micah, (not the Old Testament prophet, but another man), once used 200 items to make something that this Micah made into an idol for his "house of worship". What had his mom used to make this idol god?

Answer: 200 shekels of silver

Apparently this particular Micah was a thief, as he had taken 1100 shekels of silver from his mother. Upon returning it to her, she blessed him, and then took 200 of them to the smelter and had them turned into an idol.

Read the following excerpt from the book of Judges, chapter 17 (King James Version)

"And there was a man of Mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah. And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son. And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee. Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah. And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes."
7. Sometimes in the Bible, we find references to food, as in the case of the disciples asking Jesus if it would be possible to feed a multitude of people with a particular food item. What type of food were they suggesting be purchased with "200 pennyweight", according to the King James Version of Mark 6:37?

Answer: bread

Pay careful attention to the 37th verse from this passage of Mark chapter 6.
(King James Version)

33 "And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
42 And they did all eat, and were filled.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men."
8. David was once required by King Saul to bring 100 items to him as a dowry for his daughter's hand in marriage to David. David surpassed the request and brought Saul 200 of them. What was this rather unusual set of items that King Saul requested of David?

Answer: foreskins of the enemy

According to 1 Samuel 18, Saul asked David to bring him proof of having killed 100 Philistines (enemies of Israel). David surpassed the king's request and brought back exactly double that amount, thus becoming Saul's son-in-law. David himself later became king of Israel.
9. John the revelator saw a vision of 200 "thousand thousand" (or 200 million) animals. What type of animals were these that are mentioned in the book of Revelation, chapter 9, verses 16 and 17?

Answer: horses

"And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone."

This vision of John foretells the end times and is filled with allegory and symbolism, presented as his perception of things that were unknown to him at the time of the revelation.

(King James Version)
10. In the book of Ezekiel there was one out of every 200 types of animals mandated by God for the Israelites to present as an offering to Him. What does Ezekiel 45:15 state that this offering should consist of?

Answer: lambs

This passage of scripture indicates the methodology and requirements of God for the Israelites as they honored his holy days and feasts. Lambs were required for this particular offering, with other animals required for other feasts.
