You need to define a location-class for the location-references of your
index (in this case: page numbers)
(define-location-class "arabic-page-numbers" ("arabic-numbers"))
Add the above line to your xindy style file and test it. What you get now is
an alphabetically sorted index, but this is probably still not quite what
you want. I assume you want the index to be sorted in the order of the books
of the bible.
This, however, can not to be solved with define-alphabet, as you tried:

Instead, use:
(sort-rule "1M" "%01")
(sort-rule "2M" "%02")
...
(sort-rule "JS" "%06")
...
to get the sorting done and then, optionally
(define-letter-groups ("%01" "%02" ... ))
to group the index into paragraphs if you want.
Don't forget to read the sections in the tutorial and the manual on
sort-rule and define-letter-groups!
