Obadiah 音標拼音: [ ,obəd'ɑɪə] n. 希伯來的先知,俄巴底亞書 希伯來的先知,俄巴底亞書 Obadiah n 1: a Hebrew minor prophet [ synonym: { Obadiah}, { Abdias}] 2: an Old Testament book telling Obadiah' s prophecies; the shortest book in the Christian Bible [ synonym: { Obadiah}, { Abdias}, { Book of Obadiah}] Obadiah servant of the Lord. ( 1.) An Israelite who was chief in the household of King Ahab ( 1 Kings 18: 3). Amid great spiritual degeneracy he maintained his fidelity to God, and interposed to protect The Lord' s prophets, an hundred of whom he hid at great personal risk in a cave ( 4, 13). Ahab seems to have held Obadiah in great honour, although he had no sympathy with his piety ( 5, 6, 7). The last notice of him is his bringing back tidings to Ahab that Elijah, whom he had so long sought for, was at hand ( 9- 16). " Go," said Elijah to him, when he met him in the way, " go tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here." ( 2.) A chief of the tribe of Issachar ( 1 Chr. 7: 3). ( 3.) A descendant of Saul ( 1 Chr. 8: 38). ( 4.) A Levite, after the Captivity ( 1 Chr. 9: 16). ( 5.) A Gadite who joined David at Ziklag ( 1 Chr. 12: 9). ( 6.) A prince of Zebulun in the time of David ( 1 Chr. 27: 19). ( 7.) One of the princes sent by Jehoshaphat to instruct the people in the law ( 2 Chr. 17: 7). ( 8.) A Levite who superintended the repairs of the temple under Josiah ( 2 Chr. 34: 12). ( 9.) One who accompanied Ezra on the return from Babylon ( Ezra 8: 9). ( 10.) A prophet, fourth of the minor prophets in the Hebrew canon, and fifth in the LXX. He was probably contemporary with Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Of his personal history nothing is known.
