Someone into trivia, I see.
What two Old Testament men loved each other passing the love of women?
From David's lament over the death of his best friend, Jonathan, called the "Song of the Bow." "I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been very pleasant to me; Your love to me was wonderful, Surpassing the love of women" (II Samuel 1:26).
What son fell on his father's neck?
From Joseph's meeting of his father in Egypt. "So Joseph made ready his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; and he presented himself to him, and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while" (Genesis 46:29).
Who wanted a drink from a certain well and refused it when brought?
From the life of David when he was battling the Philistines. "And David said with longing, "Oh, that someone would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!" So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD. And he said, "Far be it from me, O LORD, that I should do this! Is this not the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. These things were done by the three mighty men" (II Samuel 23:15-17).
