 When I was growing up, in our church we often had what the pastor called a "Sword drill." It was to sharpen our knowledge of where to find things in the Bible. He would give a scripture text and all the children would scramble through their Bibles to see who could get it first. Quite often I was first to find the verse. I would b a little rusty now, however, as my old fingers are not quite as nimble as they once were. This quiz is not to test quickness. It is just a relaxed study on FIRSTS IN THE BIBLE. Try it.  Except on obvious answers, a text will be given for you to find the answer. 1. The first king of Israel was_____________
