Question 1

How did Elijah leave the earth, and what did Elisha request before his departure?

Accepted Answer

A chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha had asked for a double portion of Elijah's spirit

Answer

Elijah was taken by God in a dream — his body was never found; Elisha was with him when he went to sleep and did not wake up

Answer

Elijah was taken at the Jordan River — he walked into the water and was transformed into a pillar of light

Answer

God took Elijah while he was on Mount Horeb — where he had last heard God's voice; Elisha watched from the mountain's base

Question 2

How did Elisha purify the poisonous spring at Jericho?

Accepted Answer

He threw salt into the spring saying 'This is what the LORD says: I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive'

Answer

He prayed over the water for seven days and the impurities were slowly removed by God's power

Answer

He struck the water with Elijah's cloak — the same act that had parted the Jordan River

Answer

He commanded the people to dig new wells upstream from the contaminated source — the pure water eventually replaced the bad water

Question 3

What miracle did Elisha perform for the widow in debt who was about to lose her sons as slaves?

Accepted Answer

He told her to borrow empty jars from her neighbours, then pour from her small jar of olive oil — it filled all the jars until there were no more; she sold the oil and paid her debts

Answer

He provided her with enough gold from God's treasury to pay all her debts

Answer

He worked the fields himself for a week, producing a miraculous harvest that sold for enough to clear the debt

Answer

He confronted the creditor and told him God would judge him if he enslaved the widow's sons — the creditor relented and forgave the debt

Question 4

What were two miracles Elisha performed for the Shunammite woman?

Accepted Answer

He promised she would have a son (though her husband was old) — the boy was born; years later the boy died suddenly; Elisha came and raised him to life

Answer

He cured her of leprosy and made her barren field produce a harvest

Answer

He protected her city from Aramean attack and multiplied her food stores during a famine

Answer

He gave her a son who would be a great warrior and healed her husband of a fatal disease

Question 5

How was Naaman the Aramean army commander healed of leprosy?

Accepted Answer

Elisha told him to dip seven times in the Jordan River — Naaman was initially furious at the undignified instruction but obeyed and was healed. His skin became 'clean like that of a young boy'

Answer

Elisha laid hands on him and prayed over him — Naaman was immediately healed in the presence of the prophet

Answer

Elisha prepared a special medicinal bath using herbs from Israel — the treatment took seven days

Answer

A young Israelite servant girl prayed for Naaman — her prayer was answered directly without any action by Elisha

Question 6

What did Elisha's servant Gehazi do after Naaman's healing, and what was his punishment?

Accepted Answer

Gehazi accepted money from Naaman by lying — claiming Elisha needed silver and clothing for guests. Elisha declared that Naaman's leprosy would cling to Gehazi and his descendants forever

Answer

Gehazi revealed to Naaman that Elisha was planning to charge more — causing an international incident that strained Israelite-Aramean relations

Answer

Gehazi demanded a bribe from the Shunammite woman — using his position as Elisha's assistant to extort money from those seeking healing

Answer

Gehazi stole from Elisha's food storehouse during the famine — he was dismissed and never served as a prophet's assistant again

Question 7

What unusual miracle revealed God's invisible army to Elisha's servant when Arameans surrounded Dothan?

Accepted Answer

Elisha prayed: 'Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see.' The servant saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha

Answer

An earthquake swallowed the Aramean army before they could attack — the servant saw the ground open and close

Answer

God sent blindness on the Aramean army — they could not see Elisha or his servant even when standing right next to them

Answer

A pillar of cloud descended between Elisha and the Arameans — the servant saw angels in the cloud holding flaming swords

Question 8

How did the northern kingdom of Israel fall, and to which empire?

Accepted Answer

Samaria fell to Assyria under Shalmaneser and Sargon II after a three-year siege — the people were deported and replaced with peoples from other lands who became the Samaritans

Answer

The northern kingdom fell to Egypt after refusing to pay tribute — Pharaoh Neco besieged Samaria for three years

Answer

The northern kingdom fell to Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar — who took the people captive to Mesopotamia

Answer

The northern kingdom fell to Aram (Syria) — Hazael besieged Samaria until it surrendered during the reign of Jehoahaz

Question 9

What was Hezekiah's greatest act of faith during Sennacherib's invasion of Judah?

Accepted Answer

He spread Sennacherib's threatening letter before the LORD in the temple and prayed — God promised the Assyrian king would not enter Jerusalem; that night the angel of the LORD struck down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers

Answer

He paid a massive tribute to Sennacherib — buying time for diplomatic negotiations that eventually led to Assyria's withdrawal

Answer

He negotiated a marriage alliance with Egypt that brought Egyptian forces to Judah's defence

Answer

He led Judah's army in a surprise night attack on the Assyrian camp while they were distracted with other campaigns

Question 10

What sign did God give Hezekiah when he was sick and prayed for healing?

Accepted Answer

The shadow of the sundial of Ahaz went back ten steps — a reversal of the normal movement of the sun

Answer

A rainbow appeared over Jerusalem — God's covenant sign confirming that Hezekiah would recover

Answer

Fire fell from heaven and consumed the king's offering on the altar — a sign of God's acceptance and favour

Answer

The temple doors opened of their own accord — interpreted by the priests as God welcoming Hezekiah back to worship

Question 11

What was Hezekiah's great folly at the end of his reign, rebuked by Isaiah?

Accepted Answer

He showed envoys from Babylon all the treasures in his palace and storehouses — Isaiah prophesied that everything would be carried off to Babylon

Answer

He negotiated a treaty with Egypt that brought pagan influence into Jerusalem's court

Answer

He pulled down the bronze serpent Moses had made because the people were burning incense to it — Isaiah said this was presumptuous since it was a sacred artifact

Answer

He tried to rebuild the city walls of Samaria — Isaiah told him that rebuilding the northern capital would only re-invite Assyrian aggression

Question 12

Who was Manasseh, and why was his reign considered the worst in Judah's history?

Accepted Answer

Manasseh was Hezekiah's son who undid all his father's reforms — rebuilt the high places, set up altars for Baal, made an Asherah pole, practised divination, and placed a carved image in the temple. 2 Kings 25 blames the exile specifically on Manasseh's sins

Answer

Manasseh was Josiah's son who reintroduced Baal worship after Josiah's death — his fifty-five year reign was the longest and most evil

Answer

Manasseh allied with Assyria militarily — allowing Assyrian forces to station themselves in Jerusalem and introducing Assyrian gods to the temple

Answer

Manasseh killed all the prophets — leaving Judah without spiritual leadership for a generation

Question 13

What triggered Josiah's great reformation, and what was the Book of the Law?

Accepted Answer

The high priest Hilkiah found the Book of the Law during temple repairs — when it was read to Josiah he tore his clothes in grief; the prophetess Huldah confirmed judgment was coming but that Josiah would be spared

Answer

Josiah had a prophetic dream in which God showed him how far Judah had strayed — the dream prompted him to begin systematic religious reform

Answer

An Assyrian invasion threatened Jerusalem — Josiah called the nation to repentance and the Book of the Law was produced as the basis for covenant renewal

Answer

A prophet from the north arrived in Jerusalem claiming to have a scroll from the time of Moses — Josiah verified its authenticity and used it as the basis for his reforms

Question 14

What was the most significant single act of Josiah's reformation?

Accepted Answer

He celebrated the Passover — the text says 'Not since the days of the judges who led Israel, nor throughout the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah, had any such Passover been observed'

Answer

He rebuilt the temple from the ground up — purifying the site that Manasseh had defiled with his carved image

Answer

He expelled all the priests of Baal from the land — ending organised Baal worship in Judah permanently

Answer

He destroyed the golden calves at Bethel and Dan — finally ending the sin of Jeroboam that had plagued the northern kingdom for 300 years

Question 15

How did Josiah die, and what was the significance of his death for Judah?

Accepted Answer

Josiah was killed at Megiddo when he confronted Pharaoh Neco who was marching north to help Assyria against Babylon — his death removed Judah's last godly king and opened the way for rapid deterioration

Answer

Josiah died of illness shortly after completing his reforms — the people interpreted his early death as a sign that God was dissatisfied with the reformation

Answer

Josiah was killed in a palace coup by pro-Babylonian nobles who wanted to ally with Nebuchadnezzar rather than resist him

Answer

Josiah was killed in battle against Babylon directly — he died defending Jerusalem in the first Babylonian invasion

Question 16

In what three stages did Babylon take Judah into exile?

Accepted Answer

605 BC (first encounter, Daniel taken), 597 BC (Jehoiachin deported with ten thousand), 587 BC (Jerusalem burned, most of population taken)

Answer

597 BC (first deportation of nobles including Daniel), 587 BC (destruction of Jerusalem and mass deportation), 582 BC (final deportation after Gedaliah's assassination)

Answer

598 BC (tribute paid), 587 BC (Jerusalem falls), 560 BC (final exile under Evil-Merodach)

Answer

612 BC (fall of Nineveh), 605 BC (Battle of Carchemish, Jehoiakim submits), 587 BC (Jerusalem destroyed)

Question 17

What happened to Jerusalem and the temple when Babylon finally broke through?

Accepted Answer

Zedekiah tried to escape but was captured; his sons were killed before his eyes; his eyes were put out; Jerusalem's walls were broken down; the temple was burned; the people were exiled

Answer

The city surrendered peacefully — Zedekiah negotiated terms and the temple was left standing as a diplomatic gesture

Answer

The Babylonians destroyed the outer walls but left the temple standing — taking only the sacred vessels as tribute

Answer

A sudden plague killed the Babylonian army camped around Jerusalem — just as had happened with Sennacherib's Assyrian army

Question 18

How does 2 Kings end on a note of hope despite the catastrophe of exile?

Accepted Answer

Nebuchadnezzar's grandson Evil-Merodach released Jehoiachin from prison, gave him a seat of honour and a regular food allowance for the rest of his life — the Davidic line survived in Babylon

Answer

The final verse promises that God will restore Israel within seventy years — giving a specific timeframe for the exile's end

Answer

Ezra received permission from Cyrus to return to Jerusalem — the book ends with the return from exile beginning

Answer

A remnant of the people remained in the land — Gedaliah's leadership showed that all was not lost for Judah

Question 19

What does 2 Kings 17:7-23 say is the reason Israel (the north) fell to Assyria?

Accepted Answer

The Israelites 'sinned against the LORD their God... feared other gods... followed the practices of the nations the LORD had driven out... built high places... served idols' — a comprehensive catalogue of covenant violations

Answer

Military weakness — Israel had abandoned military training and allied with unreliable Egypt instead of trusting God

Answer

Economic exploitation — Israel's kings had impoverished the people, destroying the social fabric that made military resistance possible

Answer

Population decline — plague and famine had weakened Israel's fighting strength; the real cause was natural rather than spiritual

Question 20

What is the overall theological message of 1-2 Kings as a complete work?

Accepted Answer

Kings demonstrates the Deuteronomic principle: obedience to the covenant brought blessing; apostasy brought judgment; the exile was not a historical accident but the covenant curses of Deuteronomy 28 being precisely fulfilled

Answer

Kings shows that Israel's greatest problem was foreign invasion — God sent prophets to warn against military alliances but the people never listened

Answer

Kings is primarily a tribute to the institution of prophecy — every event is interpreted through the prophets' words, showing that prophecy is the key to understanding history

Answer

Kings argues for the superiority of the Davidic dynasty — every king is evaluated against David, and the exile ended only when a Davidic king was on the throne
