Bible Person

Oded

Meaning: to sustain · Male · 2 cross references

Oded is the father of Azariah the prophet in Asa's reign. He appears through the family connection behind one of the key prophetic voices calling Judah back to covenant faithfulness. First appears in 2 Chr 15:1.1

AI summary: Oded matters because his cross references place his name behind Azariah's reforming exhortation to Asa. Even though Oded does not deliver the speech himself in these verses, the household connection anchors that prophetic ministry in a remembered family line. Taken together, the material presents Oded as the paternal source of a prophetic voice tied to national renewal.1
