Bible Trivia: Kings of Israel and Judah

Twelve questions on the two royal lines that follow the split at Shechem — who reigned where, who was murdered by whom, and which king belongs to which kingdom.

2 Samuel

A court narrative of unusual literary quality that refuses to flatter its hero. The Tel Dan inscription attests a dynasty bearing David’s name — and is silent about the man.

1 Samuel

How kingship began, told twice and not the same way twice. The Greek text differs substantially from the Hebrew, and Qumran copies sometimes side with the Greek — a major fact about this book.

Bible Trivia: Exodus and the Wilderness

Twelve questions on the departure from Egypt and the forty years that followed, at three levels, each answer worked through with the passage behind it.

The Exile in Order

Twenty-one readings covering the fall of Nineveh to the reading of the law in Jerusalem, arranged by when the events happened rather than by where the books are printed.

Bible Trivia: Numbers and Dates

Twelve questions on the figures, spans and counts the biblical text states outright — no arithmetic across passages, no calendar dates — at three levels, each with its verse.

Ruth

Four chapters, a Moabite great-grandmother for David, and a dating debate that is genuinely open. Its placement in the canon is itself an interpretive act.

Bible Trivia: Women of the Bible

Twelve questions on named women across both testaments — what each one did and where the text places her — at three levels, each answer worked through with the passage behind it.

Judges

The least externally documented stretch of the whole narrative, a chronology that will not add up, and closing chapters this site declines to soften.

Bible Trivia for Kids

Twelve gentle questions for classrooms and Sunday school, with a printable worksheet and a separate answer key for the teacher.
