Bible Person
Meaning: servant of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference
This Obadiah entry refers to the father of Ishmaiah, ruler over Zebulun in David's administrative list, not to the prophet or the Gadite warrior. He belongs to the family background of the united monarchy's tribal leadership. First appears in 1 Chr 27:19.1
AI summary: This Obadiah matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of a tribal officer in David's kingdom. Even a brief paternal notice helps humanize the administrative order by tying office to remembered family lines. Taken together, the material presents this Obadiah as a familial source within David's governing structure.1
