[nilesfunnies] Raquet sports and the bible

There was a line in The Archers recently in which the vicar told one of the
of people, "The bible is remarkably silent on the subject of racquet sports,
Susan"

This lead to a thread on uk.media.radio.archers with biblical scholars
disputing this:


"Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will
not serve before obscure men."
Proverbs 22:28-29

I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tennis of Kedar,
as the curtains of Solomon.
Song of Solomon 1:5

And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the centre court,
that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the
LORD, the Cup of Davis thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have
seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee.
2 Kings 20:3-5


And the Spirit badminton go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six
brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house.
Acts 11:12
