Bible Person
Meaning: a servant; workman · Male · 2 cross references
This Obed entry refers to a Judahite family figure in the line leading to Jehu within Chronicles, not to Ruth's son and David's grandfather. He belongs to the clan records of Judah. First appears in 1 Chr 2:37.1
AI summary: This Obed matters because his cross references place him in a compact Judahite household sequence, linking named generations in the dense family material of Chronicles. The name is easily confused with the better-known Obed of Bethlehem, but here its function is genealogical rather than narrative. Taken together, the material presents this Obed as a Judahite ancestor within a specific clan line.1
