Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How long did David stay in Ziklag after Saul died?

Answer: 2 days

II Samuel 1:2 "Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag." Ziklag was located in southern Israel.

2. In the following list of mother and sons, who is the mother?

Answer: Zeruiah

II Samuel 2:18 "And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe." Zeruiah is David's sister.

3. How old was David when he became King?

Answer: 30

II Samuel 5:4 "David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years." If you look at the lineage of Jesus Christ found in the New Testament, David is a direct ancestor of Joseph.

4. Who was the daughter of Eliam?

Answer: Bathsheba

I Samuel 11:3 " And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?" Another form of Eliam is Ammiel.

5. How did Absalom die?

Answer: He was stabbed and beaten

II Samuel 18: 14-15 "Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak. 15 And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him." Absalom's name means "Father of Peace". He was one of David's sons.

6. Of the following, who was the scribe?

Answer: Sheva

II Samuel 20:25 "And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests." I got Matthew from the New Testament; he was a tax collector.

7. Complete this metaphor from II Sam. 22:2. "The Lord is my ______

Answer: rock

II Samuel 22:2 "And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer." David is well known for his poetic praises to God.

8. David praises God a lot in Chapter 22. What does he say God will save him from in verse 4?

Answer: enemies

II Samuel 22:4 " I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies." This song is still sung in churches today.

9. What does David say about God's way?

Answer: It's perfect

II Samuel 22:31: "As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him." A buckler is a kind of shield, so this verse is saying that if we trust God he will always protect us.

10. What is the last word of II Samuel (King James Version)?

Answer: Israel

II Samuel 24:25 says, "And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel." I hope you enjoyed this quiz. The next quiz of this series will be on I Kings.
