In the Old Testament book Song Of Solomon chapter 1, verse 1 the song is described as "Solomon's Song of Songs." What kind of song is it?
Answer: A love song
The Song Of Solomon is a love song. Solomon was considered Israel's greatest and wisest king. Taken at face value it is the story of Solomon's love for a lovely country girl who would become his bride but many Biblical scholars consider it an allegory describing God's love for the people of Israel or Christ's love for His bride the Church.

Esau
Answer: Hunter
Jacob and his older brother, Esau, are the sons of Isaac, probably best known for the story of how Jacob became his father's heir by tricking Isaac into giving his his blessing, believing him to be Esau. In Genesis 25:27, the twins are described in these words: 'And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents'.
Other translations substitute the word 'skilful' for 'cunning'. Esau's skills as a hunter endeared him to his father, but his mother favoured Jacob.
