Not-so-trivial pursuits

While cleaning out a cabinet full of toys and games recently, I came across a pack of "According to Professor Hoyle" brand trivia cards from the 1980s. I was surprised to see that, even though they were meant for the general public, many of the questions related to Judaism.

These are Jewish questions the cards' writers thought everyone might know the answers to.

Do you? Here they are, worded as they originally were:

5. Name the last Judge of Israel, who anointed Saul as King of Israel
6. What was David's occupation before he became a warrior and king of Israel?
