hmm. 3/11
would love if you could have hebrew names alongside the english. I probably would have done a lot better. Reply

7/11 not a very happy result. Must study more. Reply

I'm an idiot Reply

I’m hopeless. I knew 5 but I really just guessed at a few. I didn’t recognize the majority of names. Reply

8/11 Interesting and challenging. Reply

I did very poorly: 4 correct out of 10. Most of my answers were guesses & I guessed wrong. I guessed correctly on only 2 questions. In fact, I only knew 2 for sure: The king who slew the giant & the king who built the temple. Reply

Fact is most of the Kings of Israel, Judah and Judea were evil men Reply

Please note that David slew Goliath with a sling and NOT a slingshot.

A slingshot is a forked frame, to which an elastic strap (or a pair of elastic bands connected by a small pouch for receiving projectiles) is fastened to the ends of the fork, typically used for shooting small stones. In British English it is called a catapult.

On the other hand, a sling is two lengths of cord connected by a small pouch for receiving a stone. When throwing stones, the sling is whirled to obtain high velocity and one end of the cord is then released at the correct time to allow the stone to fly to its target. David was an expert with a sling, so his stones probably (about 1-1/2 ounces) each left the sling at about 130 M.P.H. The way that the Tanach (1 Samuel 17) describes the stone embedding in Goliath's forehead indicates that it was going about that speed.

There are many videos on the web of people with slings throwing stones (or steel balls) at targets. Many are VERY accurate, as was David Reply
