question 4:  How many Biblical kings hid in a cave?   

answer:    At least five (Joshua 10:3, 16-17). 
(1) Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem
(2) Hoham, king of Hebron
(3) Piram, king of Jarmuth
(4) Japhia, king of Lachish
(5) Debir, king of Eglon

Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying, ‘Come up to me and help me, that we may attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.’ Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they and all their armies, and camped before Gibeon and made war against it… But these five kings had fled and hidden themselves in a cave at Makkedah. And it was told Joshua, saying, ‘The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah’” (Joshua 10:3-5, 16-17).

comments:  Can you think of other kings who hid in a cave while they were king?
