Bible Person
Meaning: servant of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference
This Obadiah entry refers to the Gadite warrior in 1 Chronicles 12:9, not to the prophet, the princes, or the tribal and post-exilic figures of the same name elsewhere. He belongs to the fierce eastern fighters who strengthen David before the kingdom is fully consolidated. First appears in 1 Chr 12:9.1
AI summary: This Obadiah matters because his single cross reference places him among the powerful Gadite men who align themselves with David at a decisive stage. The entry contributes to the picture of support for David spreading across frontier regions and tribal lines. Taken together, the material presents this Obadiah as a warrior in David's widening coalition.1
