Can you guess what ds2's favourite bible story is?

[roisin]

This evening ds2 (6) asked me to read his favourite bible story to him. So I asked what it was, and was rather surprised by the answer.

Who wants to have a guess?

Jonah and the whale?

is it old or new testament?

walls of jericho?

the crucifixion?

lepers?

When my sister was little it was Stephen getting stoned! She has always been a bit mad but I still love her!

Old Testament

Daniel and the Lions? No, that's too obvious...

One of the marriage ones?

Samson and Delila?

Creation
10 plagues
Crossing Red Sea
The Flood
Writing on the Wall

No, none of those.
Soupdragon and Shazzler (first post) are on the right lines. (A bit gruesome and not very obvious)

There was a prophetess who killed someone with a tent peg - Deborah I think. Is it that?

David and Goliath?

Tony Robinson does a fantastic re-telling of the tent peg story on Blood and Honey ... but no, it's not that one.

(Not that gruesome.)

c'mon Roisin, spill, my Sunday School Days are a long time ago!

I think that it is S and G too, unless it is the sacrifice of Issac????

Wasn't it Jael with the tent peg???

shadrach, meeshach and obednigo or however their names might be spelt?

Abraham having to offer up Isaac?

Elijah and the prophets?

Ds1 likes Samson.

None of these!

Noah and the flood

The walls of Jericho
The angel who kills 185,000

Pharoah killing all under 2's and Moses being saved

Cain and Abel

No!

It's Esther
.. and in particular the bit where Haman gets hung!

Would never have got that but at least I can stop racking my brains now.

Not quite the same, but we went to see the Bayeux tapestry this summer. Dd2 (age 3) was obsessed with the bit where Edward the Confessor dies. 'Why's that man lying on that bed, mummy?' 'Errr... he's dead' 'Oh great!'!?!? And then she kept insisting on going back to have another look at the 'dead bit'!

(As I read up the thread, I was thinking 'tent peg' too...!)
