This Obadiah entry refers to a later descendant in Saul's genealogical line, not to the prophet Obadiah or to the palace steward in Ahab's reign. He belongs to the preserved memory of Saul's extended house. First appears in 1 Chr 8:38.1
AI summary: This Obadiah matters because his cross references place him within the continuation of Saul's family across generations after the monarchy has shifted to David's line. The entry is small, but it helps show that Saul's descendants remained remembered in ordered succession. Taken together, the material presents this Obadiah as a genealogical heir within the broader record of Saul's house.1
