How this list was compiled

Written for this site by the editors; nothing was copied from another quiz or list. Each answer was read on 2026-10-02 at the verse named beside it in the King James Version (the standard text of 1769, public domain) as published at ebible.org (https://ebible.org/eng-kjv/), and the same verse was read in the World English Bible (public domain, https://ebible.org/eng-web/). Names and quoted words follow the King James text, and other translations word many of these verses differently; a few reasons give today's word for an old one. Only what the text says is asked: no question turns on doctrine, on one church's teaching or on the date of an event. Each answer names its book and chapter. A story with fighting in it is asked by its plain outline only. Levels are our estimate for ages 6 to 12: easy suits ages 6 to 8, medium ages 8 to 10, hard ages 10 to 12. A second reader compared every answer with the same verses in both texts on 2026-10-03. Licence: own work
