QUIRINIUS [kwĭ rĭnˊĭ əs] (Gk. Kyrēnios; Lat. Quirinius). Publius Sulpicius Quirinius, governor of the Roman province of Syria from A.D. 6 or 7 and for a few years afterward.QUOTATIONS. †The Old Testament has a number of direct quotations, all poetic, from books no longer extant, including the Book of Jashar (Josh. 10:12–13; 2 Sam. 1:18–27) and the Book of the Wars of the Lord (Num. 21:14–15). Indirect quotations from such works also appear. The books of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel and Judah are major sources for 1–2 Kings (e.g., 1 Kgs. 14:19; 2 Kgs. 24:5). 1 Kgs. 11:41 refers to a book of the acts of Solomon. A genealogical Book of the Kings of Israel was used by the Chronicler (1 Chr. 9:1), as were a Commentary on the Book of the Kings (2 Chr. 24:27) and other works (1 Chr. 27:24; 29:29; 2 Chr. 12:15; 33:18–19). The Chronicler also drew on the Pentateuch and the books of Samuel and Kings (perhaps referring to the latter by name at, e.g., 16:11; 32:32). A shorter quotation of a canonical book is the quotation of Mic. 3:12 at Jer. 26:18.
