1 Chronicles 4:9 (read it here)
Jabez’s mom said giving birth to him hurt real bad - probably because he had a great big head or something - so she named him “Jabez” because it sounds like the Hebrew word for pain. You’d think after his mom saddled him with guilt like that he’d end up living at home until he was like 40 and in some serious therapy working out his mother-issues. Surprisingly, he turned out okay.

God was working out this "father of many nations" thing with Abraham and at the end God said, "So that’s the deal, Abe. By the way, the sign of this here agreement is going to be circumcision." Then Abraham was probably like, "Um…Okay… Are you mad at me or something?"

Genesis 3:6 (read it here)
Eve took a bite of the forbidden fruit then gave some to Adam and he ate it too. Sure, he probably knew better, but - the whole “Fall of Mankind” thing aside - life’s just easier when you do what your wife wants you to.

Jonathan and David were planning something and David was supposed to wait by this rock named Ezel. When I was a small boy I had a rock named Banjo. We went everywhere together… for like five minutes.

2 Samuel 23:20-21 (read it here)
Back in the time of King David there was this guy named Frank. He got pretty famous because he killed a lion on a partly cloudy day, and once killed slightly-bigger-than-average Egyptian. Folks thought he was pretty cool. Then Benaiah came along, killed a lion on a snowy day and then killed a huge Egyptian. After that nobody talked about Frank much anymore. I think he went into business selling used tires or something.

King David wanted some water from this well he liked so three tough guys fought through enemy lines and brought it to him. King David poured it out on the ground. Then the three guys probably said, "What the heck, Dave?! Next time you're getting your own dang water!"

Jeremiah 19:1,10 (read it here)
God told Jeremiah to break a jar in front of some folks because God was mad at them. I broke a cereal bowl in the kitchen once and my wife got cranky about it. I said God told me to because He was mad at her. She said that was blasphemy and made me clean it up.
