Bible Trivia II

[Nazarite]

It seems that the Bible Trivia thread fell off the map. Whoever began the last thread had a pretty good thing going. So I believe the rules were:


Pose a question
The respondent with the correct answer may pose a new question
etc...
Here is the first question.

Among the 66 books in Scripture which does not contain a direct reference to God?

[Sephania]

Hadassah, AKA, Esther, her Persian name. Although G-ds hand over all things is seen throughout. He is the Salvation of his people!

I'll start you all with an easy one.

What is the longest chapter in the whole Bible, and what is the shortest? And please post what comes in between.

:)

[RVincent]

.......oops! :sorry:

[Nazarite]

The longest chapter is Psalm 119 with 176 verses. The shortest chapter is 123 with just 4 verses. If I understand your question correctly, the chapter that would fall evenly between these is Psalm 121.



1I lift up my eyes to the hills-
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD ,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip-
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you-
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm-
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

[Nazarite]

I'll assume my answer was correct and begin with a new question. But be sure to let me know if I didn't get that.


Name two of the magicians who opposed Moses.

[talitha]

Jannes and Jambres: "Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith. But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes's and Jambres's folly was also." 2 Timothy 3:8-9

What king had the first Birthday party recorded in the Bible?

[Tenorvoice]

I would not consider him to be a king, but the first birthday "party" mentioned in the NIV was for Pharaoh

Ge 40:20 Now the third day was Pharaoh’s birthday, and he gave a feast for all his officials. He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker in the presence of his officials:

[Telrunya]

Actially the shortest chapter would be Psalm 117 with only two verses the longest is correct as 119 at 176 verses. Chapter 118 is the middle chapter of the bible. There are 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and 594 after it. Both of those add up to 1188. Verse 118:8 is the middle verse of the bible.

Psalm 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in man.

How many sons and Daughters did Job have - when we first meet him?

[Nazarite]

10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before (Job 42:10).


God gave Job ten children later in his life. So Job must have had 5 children before they were killed.


Who led a rebellion against the authority of Moses and was swallowed by the earth?
