Meaning: servant of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference
This Obadiah entry refers to one of Jehoshaphat's princes sent to teach the law in 2 Chronicles 17:7, not to the prophet, the Gadite warrior, or the tribal ruler's father. He belongs to Judah's effort to spread covenant instruction through the kingdom. First appears in 2 Chr 17:7.1
AI summary: This Obadiah matters because his single cross reference places him within a remarkable royal initiative to teach the law throughout Judah. The entry helps show that reform could involve organized instruction and not only temple-centered action. Taken together, the material presents this Obadiah as a teaching prince in Jehoshaphat's reign.1
