On Thursday, one of my teammates at Tyndale asked a couple of Bible questions:
"Hmmm," I thought. "Interesting questions. I'll bet the NLT Study Bible can answer them." So I went to the NLT Study Bible online, and within five minutes I had the answers:
That was fun.
Can anyone name the second capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel? (No Wikipedia. I used that.)
For two more points, can you name all three in order?
For three more points, do you know the years they served as capitals (I don’t have the answer to this…yet)?
"Hmmm," I thought. "Interesting questions. I'll bet the NLT Study Bible can answer them." So I went to the NLT Study Bible online, and within five minutes I had the answers:
- Shechem (931-909) – 1 Kings 12
- Tirzah (909-886 BC) – 1 Kings 15:21, 32-34
- Samaria (886-722 BC) – 1 Kings 16:23-24
That was fun.

Interesting post. On a side note, are there are updates to look forward to the online study bible?
All the very best of the day!
Thanks. Yes, updates are coming -- stay tuned.
Whudda thunk? Having fun with a study Bible LOL! Mind you, God never really meant the Bible to be boring...
