Bible People Trivia Questions

31. What sin, or sins, was Eve guilty of that resulted in expulsion from the Garden of Eden?

From Quiz
Biblical Bad Girls

Answer: Each of the options listed here

The Bible is the story of what it calls God's chosen people. Adam and Eve were the first. They lived in the Garden of Eden where God said to them, "You must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat it you will surely die" (Genesis 3, ESV). Satan was in the garden, in the form of a serpent. He put doubt about the truth of what God had said into Eve's mind and tempted her to disobey God. In turn she gave some fruit to Adam, so he too ate of it and disobeyed God. They were both expelled from the garden and had to live out their lives struggling to survive like everybody else. They may have repented later, but the Bible does not say.

32. Gideon is a well known Bible character to most people. What little known man accompanied him on a spy mission against a Midianite camp? (KJV spelling)

From Quiz Pair Us Up --The Knowns and Unknowns

Answer: Phurah

Judges 7:10 is the only time this man's name is mentioned when God tells Gideon to take Phurah with him when he goes down to "listen in" on the Midianites.

33. Who were King David's sisters?

From Quiz King David's Friends and Family

Answer: Abigail and Zeruiah

David had two sisters (Zeruiah and Abigail), as is recorded in I Chronicles 2:16. The Bible does not have much to say about them, but David later complained that Zeruiah's sons were "too hard" for him! Note: this Abigail was not the same one as the wife of Nabal, whom David later married and who had the same name.

34. This man was in the wrong place at the wrong time, perhaps. He was a servant of a high priest who had his ear cut off by Peter.

From Quiz People Alphabetically in the Bible' M' to 'Z'

Answer: Malchus

Jesus reprimanded Peter and restored Malchus' ear. Luke 25:22 Mordecai was Esther's cousin and guardian, who with Esther defeated the plan of Haman to destroy the Jewish nation. Read Esther for a fascinating story of courage. Mephibosheth was the crippled son of Jonathan. Because of their friendship David affirmed himself over the boy. II Samuel 4:4 Methuselah lived for 969 years, so I am sure a LOT of people met him! Genesis 5:27

35. According to Matthew 14:6-8, whose seductive dance proved fatal for John the Baptist?

From Quiz Men and Women of the Bible

Answer: daughter of Herodias

Herod was very pleased with the dance that his step-daughter was doing and told her that she could have anything she wanted in his kingdom. On the advice of her mother, she asked for the head of John on a platter.

36. Which baby was put in a reed basket and placed in the Nile River?

From Quiz Children in the Bible

Answer: Moses

Moses grew up to see a burning bush, face a pharaoh, lead people through the desert, and see the back of God on a mountaintop. (Exodus)

37. The story of Joseph, called Barnabas, can be found in the Book of Acts. Where was this man from?

From Quiz Not Your Average Joes

Answer: Cyprus

Even though every time this man is mentioned again in the Bible, he is referred to as Barnabas, Acts 4:36 clearly tells us that his name was Joseph. It was after he had sold all his worldly goods and given the money to the apostles in Jerusalem that they renamed him Barnabas. Joseph was born to Jewish parents into the tribe of Levi, and was born in Cyprus.

38. Satan himself does not appear much in the Old Testament, the ancient book of Job is an exception. Satan is in the company of what group when he approaches God?

From Quiz Satan

Answer: "The sons of God."

"One day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, Satan also came among them. And the Lord said to Satan, 'Whence do you come?' Then Satan answered the Lord and said, 'From roaming the world and patrolling it.'" (Job I: 6 - 7) Interestingly, God and Satan seem to have a very cordial relationship!

39. According to the New Testament book of Galatians, who is 'The father of all the faithful?'

From Quiz Which Biblical Character am I?

Answer: Abraham

The Bible tells us, 'Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.' (Galatians 3:7) Because of Abraham's faith, God promised to bless him and his family. Jews, Christians and Muslims all view Abraham as a patriarch.

40. This woman was from the Valley of Sorek. Some Philistines came to her and offered her silver if she could find the secret to the strength of an extraordinarily strong man. Who was this woman?

From Quiz Famous Females (in the Bible)

Answer: Delilah

Samson and Delilah! Samson lost his strength after the Philistines cut off all his hair. Of course, it wasn't the short hair that made him weak but the promise with God that he broke. (Judges 16)

41. This man was renamed Niger because of his dark complexion. What was his birth name?

From Quiz What's in a Name?

Answer: Simeon

The only time Simeon is mentioned as being renamed Niger is in Acts 1. Simeon was a minister in one of the churches of Antioch along with Barnabas, Lucius, and Manaen.

42. Who rolled away the stone covering the tomb where Jesus' body lay?

From Quiz A Biblical Whodunnit!

Answer: An Angel of the Lord

See Matthew 28. Peter and John visited the empty tomb, but the stone had already been removed. The Roman soldiers, who were on duty, "were so afraid [of the angel] that they shook and became like dead men". The soldiers were bribed to lie about the events at the tomb. If the soldiers had really fallen asleep on duty, they would have been in danger of being executed!

43. This man was sick for quite some time and died before Jesus arrived. When Jesus arrived however, he immediately raised him from the dead.

From Quiz Famous Bible Characters

Answer: Lazarus

Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, were very close friends of Jesus. When Lazarus became ill, his sisters immediately sent for Jesus but he did not come until days later, when Lazarus had already died. However, Jesus raised him from the dead upon arrival. The story of Lazarus can be found in John 11.

44. Which woman was the Jewish queen of Persia?

From Quiz Women in the Bible

46. King David fell in love with Bathsheba when he caught sight of her having a bath. To whom was she married at the time?

From Quiz Bible Girls

Answer: Uriah

When he discovered that Bathsheba was pregnant with his child, David arranged for Uriah to die in battle. You can find the story in 2 Samuel chapter 11.

47. Who was the mother of Abraham's son, Ishmael?

From Quiz Women of the Bible. (KJV)

Answer: Hagar

See Genesis chapter 16. She was an Egyptian, and was the handmaid of Abram's wife Sarai. Abraham was actually called Abram at the time of Ishmael's birth. Hagar was treated badly by Sarai before Ishmael was born, and fled into the desert to die, but was promised that he would become the father of "a multitude" (Gen. 5 - 11)

48. She was the queen who refused to be shown off at King Xerxes' banquet.

From Quiz You Go Girl!

Answer: Vashti

Ironically, her name means "beautiful woman". Xerxes was so angry he sent a decree out that all men should be the head of their own households, and banished Vashti from his kingdom, because he feared other women might emulate her. He then searched for a new girl to be queen. He ended up choosing Esther. You can read about it in the book of Esther.

49. In Acts, she and her husband lied to the early church about the sale of their land.

From Quiz Women in the Bible

Answer: Sapphira

Sapphira and her husband Ananias were believers in the early church. They sold some land and kept aside some of the money. When Ananias went to Peter to give him money, in order to appear more generous than he was, Ananias told Peter that he was giving all of the money to the church. Peter called him on it, saying that Ananias was lying to the Holy Spirit, and Ananias died instantly. Later, when Sapphira was asked if that was all the money they had received for the land, she continued the lie and also died.

50. Few words are written about this judge. This son of Anath delivered Israel by killing 600 men with an ox goad.

54. "I was married to Judah's sons and when they were both killed by God, I was promised to the last child. However, Judah broke his promise and so I pretended to be a prostitute to trick him into sleeping with me. Who am I?"

From Quiz "Blessed are the women...."

Answer: Tamar

Yes, this tale of broken promises and deceit can be found in Genesis 38. Tamar became pregnant from this union and bore twins. The famed king David is a descendant of Perez, the firstborn among the twins.

55. Second Commandment: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image." This king, who appeared in the Book of Daniel, had a golden idol built and when three men refused to worship it, he had them thrown into a fiery furnace. Who was he?

From Quiz They Broke the Ten Commandments

Answer: Nebuchadnezzar

The three men in question were Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, all of whom were friends of the prophet Daniel (as in the one who got thrown into the lions' den). The Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar had a massive gold statue built, and commanded the people to worship it. The three Jews refused to join in, despite Nebuchadnezzar's threats, so the king ordered a furnace to be heated until it was seven times hotter than usual, and for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to be burned to death in it. The guards who took the men into the furnace were burned to death themselves, but Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego all survived, with not the slightest burn or singe mark on them. There was also a fourth man spotted inside the furnace, who was actually an angel sent by G-d to protect the men. Nebuchadnezzar was so impressed at G-d's power that he ordered for anyone who disrespected G-d to be executed.

56. God promised us numerous descendants but we only had one son together.

From Quiz Some Influential People of the Bible

Answer: Abraham and Sarah

Even though Abraham and Sarah only had one son, they had at least 13 great-grandchildren: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dinah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin (Gen 34:1,35:23-26). Over the next 400 years, Abraham and Sarah would become the "parents" of six thousand men, not including women and children. Through their only son, Abraham and Sarah left a large footprint upon the Israelite history. In the New Testament, God is known as "the God of Abraham" by the Jews.

57. Esther 1 tells of a queen being deposed by Ahasuerus, king of Persia, when she refused to parade before a gathering of officials to show her beauty. What was the name of the deposed queen? (In the NIV, Ahasuerus is known as Xerxes.)

From Quiz A Quick Look at Queens and Women with Power

Answer: Vashti

Vashti was deposed as queen after she refused a request of Ahasuerus, king of Persia, to parade before a gathering of officials to show her beauty. According to Esther 1:10-12, "the heart of the king was merry with wine" when he requested Vashti to appear before the officials he was entertaining. Vashti, however, refused to fulfill the king's request with Scripture stating he "was furious, and his anger burned within him." Shortly afterwards, Vashti would be deposed as queen. After this incident, there is no further mention of Vashti in Scripture. There are different interpretations of the account pertaining to Vashti, but some scholars believe she refused the king's request because he wanted her to appear naked before the gathering, wearing only her crown. Esther 1:11 simply states the king requested Esther to make the appearance "wearing her royal crown, in order to show her beauty to the people and the officials, for she was beautiful to behold." One thing is certain, however. Vashti was not afraid to take a stand regardless of the consequences. According to Wikipedia, Harriet Beecher Stowe called Vashti's disobedience the "first stand for woman's rights."

58. Which woman, Ishmael's mother, was the first recorded person in the Old Testament to see the Angel of the Lord? (Genesis 16)

From Quiz The Ultimate Bible Women Quiz!

Answer: Hagar

Sarah had been married to Abraham for many years, but she never had children, because she was barren. One day, she asked Abraham to have a child with her maid, Hagar, but Sarah quickly regretted that choice. It appears that Hagar became proud after she conceived, so she began to disrespect Sarah. In turn, Sarah began to treat Hagar cruelly, so Hagar ran away into the desert. The Angel of the Lord appeared to Hagar and commanded her to return to her mistress and to submit to Sarah's authority. The Angel of the Lord was a figure who only appeared in the Old Testament. He was like the Lord Himself appearing in the form of a man. Many Christians believe that He was the pre-incarnate Jesus. "Pre-incarnate" means that Jesus existed before His earthly birth to His mother.

59. The very first villain in the Bible appears in Genesis, chapter 3. Who is this cunning baddie?

From Quiz Big Time Baddies

Answer: Serpent

The serpent told Eve that if she ate of the fruit from the tree in the midst of the garden, she would be like God and would know good from evil. Seeing that the fruit from this tree would make her wise, Eve ate and encouraged Adam to do so as well, thus condemning mankind to a life outside of the Garden of Eden. When questioned by God, Adam points the finger at Eve, who in turn blames the serpent. Eve has long been blamed for getting us thrown out of the garden, but in Genesis 2:16-17, God tells Adam, not Eve, that he should not eat the fruit. I say it's all Adam's fault.
