Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Genesis 48:2 tells of an elderly and apparently frail man sitting up in his bed after being approached by his son and his two grandchildren, Manasseh and Ephraim. Who was the man who was in bed when he was approached by the trio?

Answer: Jacob

The correct answer is Jacob. According to Scripture, he was approached by his son Joseph and Joseph's two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. (I didn't include Joseph's name in the question because it would've almost been a give-away for people who play FunTrivia religion quizzes on a regular basis.)

Genesis 48:1-2, in the NKJV, states: "Now it came to pass after these things that Joseph was told, 'Indeed your father is sick'; and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. And Jacob was told, 'Look, your son Joseph is coming to you'; and Israel strengthened himself and sat up on the bed."

The chapter goes on to tell of Jacob blessing Joseph's two sons.
2. According to Deuteronomy 3:11, a king had a gigantic iron bedstead that measured nine cubits long and four cubits wide in the NKJV, or more than thirteen feet long and six feet wide in the NIV 1984 edition. What was the name of the king?

Answer: Og

Og is the correct answer. Deuteronomy 3:3 in the NIV Bible states the Israelites scored a decisive victory over Og's army: "So the LORD our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down, leaving no survivors."

Then there's the fascinating information in Deuteronomy 3:11 in the NIV Bible about Og's massive bed. The passage states: "Only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaites. His bed was made of iron and was more than thirteen feet long and six feet wide. It is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites."
3. 1 Kings 21:4 tells of a king sulking on his bed because he was unable to gain ownership of a piece of property. In fact, the NKJV reports the king was sullen "and lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food." Who was the king?

Answer: Ahab

Ahab is the correct answer. According to Scripture, the king started sulking when he was unable to acquire a vineyard owned by Naboth. Then Ahab's wife Jezebel took matters into her own hands and that's when the story takes a tragic turn.

According to Scripture, Naboth was killed simply because of the greed of Ahab and Jezebel. Scripture states Naboth was a Jezreelite and his vineyard was in Jezreel, close to the palace of Ahab, king of Samaria. I Kings 21:9-10 reports about Jezebel ordering letters be sent to elders and nobles in Naboth's city. The letter, in the NIV Bible, states: "Proclaim a day of fasting and seat Naboth in a prominent place among the people. But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them bring charges that he has cursed both God and the king. Then take him out and stone him to death." Sure enough, Jezebel would have her way and her husband would assume ownership of the vineyard.
4. According to the 19th chapter of 1 Samuel, a wife of David saved his life when she put an idol in his bed, covered it, and pretended it was the future king. What was the wife's name?

Answer: Michal

The correct answer is Michal. She pulled off the ruse when her father Saul had devoted his life to killing David simply because he was deeply jealous of the him. It appears her actions saved David's life. 1 Samuel 19:11-18 in the NKJV describes what happened: "Saul also sent messengers to David's house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. And Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, 'If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.' So Michal let David down through a window. And he went and fled and escaped. And Michal took an image and laid it in the bed, put a cover of goats' hair for his head, and covered it with clothes. So when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, 'He is sick.' Then Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, 'Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.' And when the messengers had come in, there was the image in the bed, with a cover of goats' hair for his head.

Then Saul said to Michal, 'Why have you deceived me like this, and sent my enemy away, so that he has escaped?' And Michal answered Saul, 'He said to me, 'Let me go! Why should I kill you?'' So David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth."
5. 2 Samuel 13:5 tells of a son of David taking to his bed so he could take advantage of his half-sister Tamar. What was the son's name?

Answer: Amnon

The correct answer is Amnon. The story of Amnon and Tamar is told in the thirteenth chapter of 2 Samuel. After confessing to his friend Jonadeb he was hopelessly in love with Tamar, they came up with a plan. 2 Samuel 13:5 in the NKJV states: "So Jonadab said to him, 'Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.'"

The plan to get Tamar's attention failed from the get-go and the chapter goes on to tell of Amnon raping Tamar, the full sister of Absalom. According to Scripture, two years later when Amnon was "merry with wine", Absalom ordered his servants to kill him. The chapter concludes with the death of Amnon and Absalom fleeing to Geshur.
6. According to 1 Kings 17:19, a prophet of God revived a dead boy at Zarephath after he took the boy and laid him on a bed, and then laid on top of the boy. Who was the prophet of God?

Answer: Elijah

Elijah is the correct answer. The miraculous revival of the dead boy is reported in the seventeenth chapter of 1 Kings. Scripture states Elijah was visiting Zarephath when he met up with a widow who was destitute. 1 Kings 17:8-16 tells of Elijah providing the woman with a bountiful supply of food for her and her household and himself.

Verses 17 to 24 go on to tell of the widow's son becoming seriously ill and dying. According to Scripture, Elijah took the boy and "carried him to the upper room... and laid him on his own bed."

Verses 21-22 in the NKJV state: "And he stretched himself out on the child three times, and cried out to the Lord and said, 'O Lord my God, I pray, let this child's soul come back to him.' Then the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back to him, and he revived."
7. The fifth chapter of John tells of Jesus healing a man who had an infirmity for thirty-eight years. In verse eight, Jesus tells the man, who was by the Pool of Bethesda: "Rise, take up your bed and walk." And according to Scripture, the man did just that. However, a number of people were upset with Jesus for healing the man, as per verse ten. Why were the people upset with Jesus?

Answer: He healed the man on the Sabbath.

According to Scripture, the people were upset with Jesus because He had the audacity to cure the man on the Sabbath. (Couldn't He keep the day holy and pretend He didn't see the crippled man?)

The healing of the paralytic man is told in John 5:1-9, while the following six verses tell of the indignation of the people about how he healed the poor, helpless man on the Sabbath.

According to John 5:2, the miracle took place in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate, or the Pool of Bethesda.
8. According to Acts 5:15, many people in Jerusalem brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches so at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.

Answer: True

True. According to the book of Acts, Peter and other workers with the early church, performed a number of miracles. However, the fifth chapter of Acts is the only account of bedridden people desperately wanting the shadow of Peter to fall on them.

Acts 5:12-16 explains things this way: "And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's Porch. Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed."
9. Acts 9:32-35 tells of a worker with the early church healing a man who had been bedridden for eight years. In verse 34, the worker tells the man: "Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed." Scripture goes on to state the bedridden man "arose immediately". What are the names of the church worker and the man who was healed?

Answer: Peter and Aeneas

The correct answer is Peter and Aeneas.

Acts 9:32-35 in the NKJV states: "Now it came to pass, as Peter went through all parts of the country, that he also came down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda. There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years and was paralyzed. And Peter said to him, 'Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.' Then he arose immediately. So all who dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord."

The ninth chapter of Acts concludes by telling of Peter raising Dorcas, also known as Tabitha, from the dead at Joppa.
10. According to Hebrews 13:4, what bed should be kept 'undefiled' in the NKJV and kept 'pure' in the NIV?

Answer: The marriage bed

The correct answer is the marriage bed. Hebrews 13:3 in the NKJV states: "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge."

Chapter 13 is the final chapter in Hebrews and the verse about the marriage bed is part of the writer's concluding moral directions. However, no one knows for certain who wrote Hebrews. Some people believe Paul wrote the book but others strongly dispute such a belief.
