Let's get started. What Old Testament prophet was told by God "Call on me and I will tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."? Qvivnrzs

Answer: Jeremiah

The verse can be found in Jeremiah 33:3. Jeremiah was called to be a prophet by God in the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah and he prophesied God's word through the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, when the people of Judah went into exile into Babylon in the time of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. Jeremiah's book is the second of the major prophets.

2. The book bearing this man's name has the most chapters out of any of the books of the major prophets. Who is he? Rhzrzs

Answer: Isaiah

Isaiah has the most chapters with 66. Then comes Jeremiah with 52, then Ezekiel with 48, then Daniel with 12, then finally Lamentations with five. The book of Isaiah is made up of the visions Isaiah saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

3. Which king of Judah died of foot disease? Zhz

Answer: Asa

Asa was the son of Abijah who was king before him. Asa reigned over Judah for forty-one years and was righteous in the eyes of the LORD. He cut down the idols of the false gods and served God his whole life. After he died his son Jehoshaphat succeeded him as king of Judah. You can read about Asa in 1 Kings 15 and 2 Chronicles 14-16.

4. Who was the runner-up for Judas' replacement as the twelfth apostle? Qlhvks

Answer: Joseph

After Jesus was taken to Heaven the Apostles went back to Jerusalem and Joseph and Matthias were nominated to replace Judas. They cast lots and the lot fell to Matthias so he replaced Judas as the twelfth apostle. This occurred in Acts 1.

5. Who, other than Ruth, was a daughter-in-law of Naomi? Likzs

Answer: Orpah

After Naomi's sons died, she decided to move back to Bethlehem and she told her daughter-in-laws, Ruth and Orpah, goodbye in Ruth 1. But Ruth wanted to go with her, so Naomi let her go back to Bethlehem with her. There Ruth married Boaz, son of Salmon, and they had a son named Obed. Obed had a son named Jesse, who was the father of King David of Israel (Ruth 4:21-22).

6. Who was the last king of Israel recorded in 2 Kings? Slhsvz

Answer: Hoshea

After Hoshea became the king of Israel he did evil in the eyes of the Lord. Because of God's anger with Israel he sent them into exile in Assyria. In 2 Kings 17 Hoshea had to pay tribute to the Assyrians.

7. Who was the first king of Israel, excluding Saul and David himself, who wasn't a descendant of David? Qvilylzn

Answer: Jeroboam

Jeroboam, son of Nebat, overthrew Rehoboam, son of Solomon, in 1 Kings 12:20, and he became the next king of Israel. But because of a promise God made to David, Judah was always ruled by a descendant of David.

8. What's the name of David's grandfather? Lyvw

Answer: Obed

Obed was the son of Ruth and Boaz and the father of Jesse (Ruth 4:21-22). Jesse was the father of eight sons, the youngest of which was David who later became the third King of Israel.

9. Who killed an Egyptian and then fled to the land where he met his future wife? Nlhvh

Answer: Moses

Moses saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave; he stepped in and accidentally killed the Egyptian. After he killed the Egyptian he fled to Moab where he met Zipporah, whom he ended up marrying. This part of Moses's story is told in Exodus 2:11-22.

10. Who was the king of Babylon who helped Judah out of Exile? Xbifh

Answer: Cyrus

Not long after Cyrus became king of Babylon, God told him to let his people out of exile. So he helped Judah get back into their homeland and they rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem. You can find his proclamation in 2 Chronicles 36:23 and Ezra 6:3-5.
