Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. According to Genesis 39:1-16, what woman kept Joseph's cloak until her husband came home?

Answer: Potiphar's wife

Potiphar's wife is the correct answer. Genesis 39:1-16 provides an account of Joseph working as a slave in the house of Potiphar, an officer of the Pharaoh and captain of the guard. However, Potiphar's unnamed wife "cast longing eyes" on Joseph, as per Verse 7 in the NKJV.

The passage goes on to tell of Potiphar's wife wanting to sleep with him but when Joseph refused, she became angry. After she grabbed hold of Joseph's garment, Scripture states he fled, leaving the garment in the woman's hands.

When Potiphar returned home, she falsely accused Joseph of attempted rape and he was imprisoned.
2. Scripture tells of the death of a judge of Israel, with the people lamenting for him and burying him at his home in Ramah. Who was the judge who was buried at his home in Ramah? (Hint: He was strongly opposed to establishing a monarchy in Israel.)

Answer: Samuel

Samuel was lamented and buried at his home in Ramah, according to 1 Samuel 25:1. Samuel is generally regarded as the last judge of Israel, although this is not technically correct. Samuel's two sons Joel and Abijah briefly served as judges but their short time was filled with corruption, as per 1 Samuel 25:2-3.

An account of Samuel's strong opposition to Israel being ruled over by a monarchy is contained in 1 Samuel 8. Despite Samuel's opposition, the Israelites selected Saul, the son of Kish, as the first king of the country.
3. What king built a magnificent temple and palace in Jerusalem and in so doing commissioned ten thousand workers a month to go to Lebanon to work a one-month shift, and then return home for two months? (1 Kings 5:14)

Answer: Solomon

Solomon was the Israelite king responsible for building a magnificent temple and palace in Jerusalem. According to 1 Kings 9:10, the two projects were constructed over a twenty-year period. As part of the project, 1 Kings 5:14 tells of Solomon sending ten thousand workers a month into Lebanon to cut trees and quarry stone in the mountains.

After serving for one month in Lebanon, Scripture states the workers would return home for two months while another contingent of ten thousand workers would go to Lebanon.
4. What man went home to his wife Zeresh and proudly told her he had been invited by Esther to attend a banquet with the king of Persia, as per Esther 5:10?

Answer: Haman

Haman apparently thought it was an honor that Esther had invited him to attend a banquet with Ahasuerus, king of Persia. (In the NIV, Ahasuerus is known as Xerxes.) However, the banquet invite would actually prove to be the beginning of a gruesome end for Haman. Esther would disclose to the king that Haman had a heinous plan to kill all the Jews in the Persian empire, prompting the king to rule that Haman would be executed.
5. Ruth 1:21 in the NKJV features this quote from Naomi: "I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?" What name did Naomi tell the people back home she should be called?

Answer: Mara

When Naomi returned home to Bethlehem, she told the people to call her Mara instead of Naomi because "the Almighty has afflicted me." According to notes in the NKJV Study Bible, Mara means 'bitter'.

The reason for Naomi's bitterness was because of the deaths of her husband Elimelech and two sons Mahlon and Chilion. The Book of Ruth goes on to tell of Naomi regaining happiness in her life when her daughter-in-law Ruth married Boaz and they became parents of a boy called Obed. Ruth 4:17 states Naomi took the child "and laid him on her bosom and became a nurse to him."
6. A popular saying is "home is where the heart is", with many people believing the verse is from Proverbs in the Old Testament. However, using versions such as the KJV, NKJV and NIV, there is no verse in the Bible which states "home is where the heart is".

Answer: True

True. There is no verse in the entire Bible stating home is where the heart is. This even though many people have the mistaken belief the saying is from Proverbs in the Old Testament. According to Wikipedia, the saying originated with Gaius Plinius Secundus, a Roman philosopher better known as Pliny the Elder.

However, to prevent getting a slew of correction notices, it must be pointed out there are some Bible verses that come close to stating home is where the heart is. For example, Matthew 6:21 in the NKJV states, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

For the record, using the NKJV, the word 'heart' appears more than nine hundred and twenty-five times and the word 'home' more than eighty times. However, there are only five verses in the entire Bible that contain both words 'heart' and 'home'. The verses are Judges 19:9, 1 Samuel 10:26, 2 Kings 14:10, 2 Chronicles 25:19 and Lamentations 1:20.
7. The following verse, containing the word 'home', is from an Old Testament book using the NKJV: "The rock badgers are a feeble folk, yet they make their homes in the crags." In what book do you find this verse?

Answer: Proverbs

The verse is from Proverbs 30:26. To put the verse in context, here's how Proverbs 30:25-27 reads in the NKJV: "The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer; the rock badgers are a feeble folk, yet they make their homes in the crags; the locusts have no king, yet they all advance in ranks."

While much of the content of Proverbs was written by Solomon, Chapter 30 is different as it was written by Agur, the son of Jakeh. According to Biblestudytools.com. Agur means 'gatherer' or 'the collector'. However, little is known about the man.
8. John 14:23 in the NKJV quotes Jesus as telling an individual, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him." Who did Jesus make this statement to?

Answer: The second disciple called Judas

Jesus made the statement to the second disciple who was called Judas. John 14:22-23 in the NKJV explains things this way: "Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, 'Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?' Jesus answered and said to him, 'If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him."

According to Luke 6:16, Judas was the the son of James. Judas Iscariot, was the son of Simon, as per John 6:71.

Judas was also known as Jude/Thaddaeus.

Here are the names of the Twelve Disciples in alphabetical order:
1.) Andrew
2.) Bartholomew/Nathanael
3.) James, the Elder
4.) James, the Lesser or Younger
5.) John
6.) Judas Iscariot
7.) Jude/Thaddaeus, also known as Judas, the son of James
8.) Matthew/Levi
9.) Peter or Simon Peter
10.) Philip
11.) Simon the Zealot, also known as the Canaanite
12.) Thomas
9. In two different Gospels in the NKJV, Jesus indicates He is homeless, stating, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." In what two Gospels do you find this quote?

Answer: Matthew and Luke

The statement by Jesus that "the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head" is found in Matthew 8:20 and Luke 9:58. According to Matthew 8:19, Jesus made the comment to an unnamed scribe.

When Jesus described Himself as 'the Son of Man', He was using a Messianic title for Himself, as per Daniel 7:13. Using the NKJV, Jesus describes Himself as the Son of Man more than seventy-five times. This even though He was without a home.
10. 1 Timothy 5:3-4 contains the word 'home' and offers this advice from Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles: "Honor widows who are really widows. But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God." Who was Timothy?

Answer: A young and timid worker in the early church

Timothy was a young and timid worker in the early church who often labored alongside Paul. According to Acts 16:1, Timothy was from Lystra, an ancient city in present-day Turkey. 2 Timothy 1:5 states Timothy was the son of Eunice and the grandson of Lois.

The name of Timothy's father is not given, but it is known he was Greek. In different places in Scripture, Paul refers to Timothy as his son, indicating the two had a close relationship.
