Let's play Bible Trivia!

Here is a funnier one.

What Book of the Bible mentions Babylon six times more than the book that mentions Babylon 2nd most?

Pretend example...
Let's say Matthew mentions Babylon 24 times
2nd most would (pretendly) be Acts at 4 times.

How many Assyrian kings are noted in the Bible? What are their names?

There are six but possibly seven Assyrian kings mentioned. But only five of them are named specifically.
Sargon
Sennacherib
Shalmaneser
Esarhaddon
Tilgath-pileser

Jeremiah = 149 times
2Kings = 28 times

...oops, I meant 5X more.

The answer will surprise many, but which book of the whole Bible uses the word 'light' more than any other book?

Brilliant

He shor 'nuff deed...

And if that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind

Crossnote!
Whats the answer??

My Guess is Gospel of John
But its too obvious

Love to know the right answer

Without looking I'd say Psalm's

Ok, the answer is....(drum roll).....
JOB 27 times!!
John 16 times
Psalms ( 2nd place-long book) 23 times

Good to know, someone else actually did my research. Thanx.

It's why it is called Bible Trivia. lol

What was Joshua's original name?

How many spies entered the land of Canaan? What were their names?

Found it! Joshua's original name was Oshea....


Numbers 13:16 (KJV)

16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.

Found the names of all twelve spies......interesting that Caleb was from the Tribe of Judah and Joshua was from the Tribe of Ephriam.

Thank you @cv5! Great question!

Numbers 13:1-17 (KJV)

13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
3 And Moses by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.

4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:

yes, that's because he had no father or mother being the son of Nun.
