Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Adam

Answer: Eve

According to the book of Genesis, the first man was Adam and his wife, Eve, was the first woman. Genesis 1 states that both man and woman were created in God's image and Genesis 2 says that God created woman because it wasn't right for man to be alone.

Genesis 2:24 states that a man will leave his parents and be joined to his wife and that he will be one flesh with her.
2. Isaac

Answer: Rebekah (Rebecca)

Genesis 24 says that Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah, met Rebekah at a well. In addition, Genesis 24:67 actually says that Isaac loved Rebekah and that Rebekah comforted Isaac after his mother, Sarah, died. Aww, that's so sweet.
3. Jacob

Answer: Rachel

Jacob was a son of Isaac and Rebekah. See Genesis 29. Jacob married both Leah and Rachel, but he was tricked into marrying Leah. He was in love with Rachel and loved her only.

Poor Leah! I don't suppose that Jacob would buy her a Valentine's Day gift, unless he felt obligated to do so.
4. Old Testament Joseph

Answer: Asenath

Genesis 41 states that Joseph, Jacob's favorite son, one of Rachel's sons, married Asenath, the daughter of an Egyptian priest.

Obviously Asenath worshipped Egyptian gods when they first met. Some people believe that she converted to Judaism after their marriage, while the Bible doesn't explicitly say it. However, Asenath's sons became tribes of Israel, so it is very possible that she did convert to Judaism.
5. Amram

Answer: Jochebed

Amram was Moses's father and Jochebed was his mother. For example, see Exodus 6:20. They were both Levites, from the Israelite tribe of Levi.

Moses's own wife was Zipporah, who wasn't an Israelite at all, but rather a Midianite.
6. Deborah

Answer: Lapidoth

Lapidoth was Deborah's husband in Judges 4. Interestingly enough, Judges 4 centers around two women, Deborah and Jael, who defeat an enemy army. Apparently, there were no good men for that specific job. Jael's husband was Heber, but both he and Lapidoth are only briefly mentioned. Meanwhile, Deborah is famous for being a female judge of Israel.
7. Jael

Answer: Heber

Judges 4 states that Jael, the woman who killed the wicked Sisera, was married to a man named Heber. The Bible doesn't say much about Heber other than that he was her husband and a Kenite. It seems like Kenite is another title for Midianite, because Judges 4:11 states that Moses's father-in-law was a Kenite, while other parts of Scripture say that he was a Midianite.

Perhaps if Heber were to give Jael a gift, he should give her a new hammer. Wait, scratch that, that isn't romantic.
8. Ruth

Answer: Boaz

The story of Ruth, which is told in the book that bears her name, is full of love. Not only does it portray Ruth's great love for and loyalty to her mother-in-law, Naomi, but it also includes Boaz's love for Ruth. Ruth was a young widow, but she found favor with Boaz, who then became her second husband.

The book of Ruth is probably the second most romantic book in the Bible, with the Song of Solomon as the most romantic.
9. Hannah

Answer: Elkanah

According to 1 Samuel, Hannah was one of Elkanah's wives. He had two wives and the other wife was always belittling Hannah because Hannah was originally barren. So, Hannah prayed to God and He gave her a son, Samuel. Verse 5 suggests that Elkanah loved Hannah more than he loved his other wife, who was so cruel to her "rival".

Therefore I would imagine that he would give more Valentine's Day gifts to Hannah than to the other woman.
10. David

Answer: Bathsheba

See 2 Samuel 11. Even though David already had multiple wives, he fell madly in love--and in lust--with Bathsheba. Bathsheba eventually became Solomon's mother.
11. Esther

Answer: Xerxes (Ahasuerus)

Esther found favor with the Persian king, known by both of the names above, and he chose her to be his bride. Because he loved Esther, she was able to save her people from a genocide.

The book of Esther is pretty romantic, but the king treats his first wife, Vashti, unfairly, and then Haman's plot to kill the Jews is disturbing.
12. Solomon

Answer: Shulammite princess

The Song of Solomon, also known as the Song of Songs, was written by Solomon, David's son. The title of the bride and princess was the Shulammite. Interestingly, Shulam is the name of an area in Iran, but according to the Jewish Women's Archive, the title comes from the Hebrew Shulammit, which means "woman of Jerusalem".

1 Kings 11:3 states that Solomon had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines, but such was against the Lord's law and will. Now, I can't even imagine how much candy and flowers this guy would have to buy for Valentine's Day gifts!
13. Rachab or Rahab (Matthew 1:5)

Answer: Salmon

Matthew 1:5 states that Rahab, which some translations call Rachab instead, was married to a man named Salmon. Yes, Salmon. In addition, these were Boaz's parents, the same Boaz who married Ruth!

While it is generally accepted that this Rahab is the same as the Rahab in the book of Joshua, some people dispute this.
14. Mary

Answer: Joseph

According to the New Testament Gospels of Matthew and Luke, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a virgin who gave birth to the Messiah, the Son of God. However, Joseph married Mary and took care of the child since he was considered the earthly father.

Matthew 1:19 says that Joseph didn't want to disgrace her; I think this shows that he loved her.
15. Alphaeus

Answer: Mary, mother of James

Matthew 10 lists James, son of Alphaeus as one of Christ's first disciples. Later, in Matthew 27, a woman is called Mary, the mother of James.

The Bible doesn't actually say that these two were married, or that they were the parents of the same man, but several people have concluded this. Several sources state that there are only three men named James in the New Testament: The son of Zebedee and Salome, the son of Alphaeus and Mary, and then the brother of Jesus, who is always listed in the company of Christ's mother, also named Mary, and is distinct from the other two Jameses. Some scholars believe that Mary, mother of James is the same as Mary, the wife of Clopas, which would mean that Clopas is another name for Alpheus.
