[spoiler title=’Click/Tap Here for Final Jeopardy! Correct Response/Question’]What is Lebanon?[/spoiler]
Remember that Jeopardy! defaults to the King James version of the Bible!
Psalm 92 reads:
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
I Kings 5 says:
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
(Hiram I of Tyre furnished the cedar timbers for the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem.)
Of course, the Cedar of Lebanon features prominently on the flag of Lebanon.

Sorry, but Thursday was up late, so I gave my prediction. At least I was right with 1 correct and the answer. Didn’t know that “steel” was a country…????
1) The comment in question came in at 4:30 AM Eastern; that doesn’t really count for “up late”. Moreover, it could have given a prediction without actually spoiling the Final Jeopardy response.
2) People often misread clues up on stage. That was clearly a mis-read.
When I checked it was at a time when next day’s clue/answer are already up, so it WAS late for me. And given the difference in time zones (I am 5, during DST 6 hours behind Eastern Time) MAY have been the cause why it was late today, as I said above. I usually check at the same time and there it is, which was NOT the case today.
Again, sorry, but you deleted my answer and the correct prediction of 1 anyway.I was not aware that you were not supposed to give a prediction. But in general: out of a possible 3/3: when it comes to foreign geography or history I deduct 1 for each category: so: 3 minus 1 for foreign=2, minus one for geography in a wider sense: again minus 1 = 1 correct. That is and will always be my prediction when it comes to a FJ category that pertains to foreign geography, history or even politics. And that 1 is optimistic. If I could I would give it an average of 0.5 correct. Just so everybody knows what my prediction would be in those FJ categories, unless you will delete this response as well.

I’ve never banned predictions.
But for the sake of those who want to be able to read my website without being spoiled on results for games they haven’t seen yet, it goes without saying that you need to wait for the information about a certain game to come onto this website for you to be able to talk about it (and in that section only.)
What was the 5th question about Mozart? I never heard of the guy.
This guy: Ludwig Ritter von Köchel. He’s basically known today for cataloging Mozart’s works.
Thank you.
Johnny Gilbert categories are always a treat.
I completely agree!
