Quiz Of 40 Biblical Women

35.____ _____________ As a royal concubine of King Saul with outstanding in beauty and intelligence, she was the tolerant mentor of a troubled David. As restitution for Saul's slaughter of Gibeonites, David demanded her sons be killed. Tragically, they were “hanged on a mountain” and, perhaps the worst part, was that the bodies were not buried, but left out on an open hillside to rot or be eaten by scavenging birds or animals. Then she began a terrible vigil. Imagine the anguish and fury of a mother who has lost everything? At the site of their execution, she stayed days and nights, for months on end guarding their hanging corpse' as they decomposed in hot or cold weather. (2 Samuel)

36.____ _____________ ____ _____________ ____ _____________ This is a three in one mystery. These three sisters-in-law married into a family of woodworking brothers whose father was given a mission by God. Though the entire family work diligently in support of this God-given task, decades upon decades passed before their work was accomplished.

37.____ _____________ Most likely, you are aware of the two daughters of Lot that survived the destruction of Sodom. But can you link one of their names within the quiz offerings? Only one name is asked for because the other remains a total enigma. These ladies appear in two connected stories. In the first, Lot offers his daughters to a Sodomite mob; in the second, his daughters sleep with Lot without his knowledge, and bear children. One of these two daughters is never named anywhere and the other daughter is named in the non-canonical book of Jasher.

Hope you enjoyed the challenges of this lesson? There are far too many Biblical lessons to be learned from the study of these women to try to list them by myself. However, here are a few that were brought to mind.

God can be trusted but not Satan. A person's lack of self-control can lead to an individual's separation from God, but He will restore sinners who come back to him in faith. The Bible teaches us God can step into a hopeless situation and turn it upside down in an instant. Thankfully, God can take our mistakes and make good come from them. He also can use bad people, often doing bad things to fulfill His plan. Whenever we choose our own selfish desires over those of God, bad consequences often follow. God's promises come true at His designated time and place. Yet, when our greatest desire is to give glory to God, our prayers are heard. Finally, God needs nothing from us, yet He desires our faithfulness and for us to do good works for others while we reside on earth.
