Bible Trivia

The Achiever

I am not a man of battle,

Nor a lord of sheep or cattle, 1

But I’m wealthy, 2 and I’m righteous, 3

Though I have been known to battle. 4

Boastfulness gave way to patience

Through long years of tribulations, 5

And the providence of God used me

To bless both men and nations. 6

With aristocratic wife, 7

And with wealth and honors rife, 8

You’d not suspect the many wrongs

I’ve suffered in my life. 9

OK, so here is how this deal works...each time you see a number, that is a clue to the identity of the character.  The words between each number constitute an individual clue about the Biblical character in question, and I will go ahead and tell you this character is from the Old Testament.  Have fun!
