10 ANSWERS TRIVIA - ANSWERS (PAGE 2) 1. In the movie, Reed s dad tells Reed and Luke all about King Solomon. When King Solomon was offered anything he wanted from God, what did he ask for? ANSWER C Solomon asked for Wisdom so that he could better rule God s people. Because he asked for Wisdom and not for riches, God blessed him with riches and security as well. In The Solomon Bunch, when Reed asks who the smartest person in the world is, his dad tells him that there are a lot of smart people, but it is more important to be wise than smart. Having wisdom means you know how to use your knowledge. 2. What was the great gift Solomon left that we still enjoy today? ANSWER D Today we can enjoy much of Solomon s wisdom through the proverbs he wrote. The bible credits 3000 proverbs to King Solomon in total. In the movie, the Solomon Club picks a verse from Solomon s Book of Proverbs each week. The first verse they pick is Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. 3. Solomon didn t just talk about the actions of the wise and the blessed, but he also talked about the foolish. Can you guess how many times the word fool appears in Proverbs In the bible? ANSWER C Fools were referenced by Solomon at least 70 times in Proverbs. The movie shows us that it can be foolish to jump to conclusions and make assumptions about people before we know the whole story. When the kids overheard Mr. Noble rehearsing for his puppet show, they assumed he was up to no good and told the whole town that he was a bad man and hurt his reputation in the community. When they learned the truth, that Mr. Noble was actually a good and kind person, they felt terrible and did the right thing by confessing what they had done. ACTIVITIES - ANSWERS (PAGE 3) 1.
