1Obadiah
2He was from the region of Shechem, of the field of Beth-hakkerem.
3He was a pupil of Elijah, and having done much in his service he was saved from death by him.
4He was that third captain of fifty whom Elijah spared, and went down with him to Ahaziah.
5Afterward, leaving the service of the king he became a prophet, and upon his death he was buried with his fathers.
