  1. Why did Uzzah get the death penalty by God for putting out his hand to steady the Ark? Wasn’t it a good thing to prevent the Ark from tipping into the dirt? 1 Chronicles 13:9-10
  2. 2 Chronicles apparently mentions the same time as when David commits adultery with Bathsheba. Why is the story omitted in this Book of the Bible? Chronicles 20:1; 2 Samuel 11:1-5.

New Testament

  1. What is the significance of Paul’s Shipwreck? Acts 27.
