What biblical saint died twice and was buried twice?

Who was the first man that broke all Ten Commandments?

What biblical character killed one-quarter of the population?

What prophet anointed two kings who lived simultaneously?

Born once, die twice; born twice, die once. What does it mean?

I can be carried but not touched
I have two things on the outside and three on the inside
Everyone wants to catch a sight of me
But I’m kept out of sight
I was lost and found; then found but now I am lost
I prefigure a woman and am now in heaven
I’m in the Bible – what am I?
(HINT: Exodus 25:10 – 22; 1 Samuel 4; Heb 9:4; Rev 11:19-12:1)

I am one of 5, chosen by 1 of 8
I am mighty small but by me the Mighty fall
Drawn up from the depths, I am aimed at the heights
I was found where I had sunk and I sank where I was flung
I’m in the Bible – what am I?
(Hint: 1 Samuel 17)
