RHYME TIME
What the wise man built his house upon and what a shepherd might watch over
Rock and Flock

This man for not looking back, his wife, not so much
Lot
Matthew 6:33. "but seek ye first.....this!"

Number of pairs of clean animals Noah took on the Ark times the number of the Commandment Thou shall not make Idols

7 x 2
The second son of the first couple and God promises to set this in the presence of your enemies
Abel and table
This year the final night of this most Holy Jewish Celebration falls on Easter Sunday. The origin of the Jewish Celebration is the tenth plague set upon the Egyptians that resulted in the freeing of the Israelites
Passover
These three friends of Daniel, for their steadfast faith and refusal to bow to an idol.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
This man hid himself in the hold of a ship to avoid going to Ninevah to preach. That proved to be a huge mistake

You will have to go the whole way to the end of the alphabet and to the last four books of the Old Testament to find these rhyming books.
Zechariah and Zephaniah
This older brother of Moses really had some good days and bad days. I would say the Golden Calf day was not a good one
Aaron
This prophet for one of the coolest "rides" into heaven , okay so maybe coolest is not the best word. A chariot of Fire? Now that's how you make an exit!
Elijah
This Hebrew mother hid her son from Pharaoh's wrath in a reed basket. I would say probably the best game of hide and seek ever.

59
66 - 7
The fourth King of Judah AND the final docking port of Noah's Ark.
Jehoshaphat and Ararat
After forty years of wandering, I would imagine Moses got tired of hearing, "Hey Moses what's for supper?" Manna, Manna, and more manna, and this occasional fowl.
quail
These two Apostles for the most awesome nickname, The Sons of Thunder, ( sounds like an Epic super hero duo)
James and John
This Canaanite woman hid Israelite spies in Jericho and sent the spies pursuers out to seek them on a wild goose chase
